About location

Snow Summit has served as a ski resort in California’s San Bernardino Mountains since 1952. Above the city of Big Bear Lake, it occupies forested slopes on the south side of Big Bear Valley, a high mountain basin shaped by the lake of the same name. The resort is one of two mountains operated under Big Bear Mountain Resort, alongside nearby Bear Mountain. Its chairlifts and maintained runs form part of a year-round recreation landscape, while the Adventure Academy area is designed around outdoor activities for younger guests. Pine forest and open slopes give the site a distinctly mountain character within Southern California, where it is used by families and riders on lift-served trails. The setting brings a purpose-built recreation area into the wider Big Bear Valley.

The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
