I've been skiing southern California mountains for over 25 seasons. I know Mountain high, Mt Baldy, Snow Valley, and the big bear resorts very well. When Snow Valley has coverage, it's one of the best local resorts. Mid week lift tickets are in the $50s. No lines. Decent lifts. Slide peak is one of the best slopes in the San Bernardinos. You have open face Steeps on your skiers right, and steep trees on skiers left.

The trees are on the lower and mid mountain are also super fun. I'm lucky to be able to ski on weekdays and enjoy the empty lifts.

The beginner runs are longer than the average bunny hill.

Snow Valley gets an A plus from me.
