Snow Valley, located in southern California by San Bernardino, is a ski resort with 12 lifts and 28 trails on 240 acres. Snow Valley has a variety of terrain, including a couple black diamonds, and some easier runs. The hardest runs are at the top along Slide Peak. Groomed cruisers are well maintained, and if backcountry is your thing, there... is a wide area within ski area borders but not maintained to explore. The terrain park, Edge, runs down the left side. Snow Valley offers ski and ride lessons, snowmaking, on mountain dining, and night skiing, among others. Snow Valley is a great family destination with mini snowmobiles and snow play along with a family friendly atmosphere. Read more

I went Jan-20. The snow was firm and later in the day there were rocks coming through the melting snow. Only 2 runs open. I went on a Friday and there was NO one there! It was very nice for beginning on snowboarding. Good fun trip. I would go again (when there's more snow). nice for a beginner and intermediate.

Good alternative to Bear/Snow Summit. Short or no lines, decent terrain, and good vibe. Friendly staff, ample parking, and decent snow. Only 3 lifts were open, but still had a great time. I would definately recommend this place. Can't wait to go back when more lifts are open. Thanks for the great deal Liftopia!

I am really a beginner / intermediate skier. I LOVED Snow Valley. I have skied in about 9 resorts so far and I can't remember a place that was so relaxed and easy. No attitude, no long lines, just chill and perfect. It's not the most glamorous place, and if you want to show off your outfit you might want to go elsewhere. But if you just want an easy no hassle day of skiing, this is it. Good vibes.

It's a really nice place. I go here a lot. Unfortunately because California weather sucks the snow kind of got slushy at some parts. If your looking for a place to just cruise around and don't like the crowd at Mt. High, I would recommend going here. I personally hate Mt. High because of the over population. I brought my friend here for the first time who absolutely LOVES Mt. High and he was very pleased and said he wouldn't mind coming here again at all. Liftopia discount ticket prices were a perk for him too.

Was real nice, and Liftopia is awesome. Tips...? Hmm. First, the night skiing availability with the Liftopia package deal this week was great. Almost nobody on the chair lifts or the slopes after 4pm, and you can see just fine - at least with the nice moonlit evenings we had; not that the run lights are insufficient, but the moon light adds a nice touch. Next, I would recommend getting a package that doesn't include rentals, because there's long lines for that, both to pick them up, and to return them (if you leave at 4pm that is.) Rent your equipment off-site at Bauer's or something. Cheers.

Went up on the 23rd. They only had two bunny slopes open because they said there were strong winds at the top, but it was not that windy at the bottom. We were told they would open the upper lifts by 12:00, then 1:00. There was nobody preparing the upper lifts at 12:00 and we were so bored, we just left. My friends were at Bear Mtn and all the runs were open, but they said it was crowded. Next time I might just make the extra drive. It would have been worth it. :( Check the weather report, Snow Valley website, or call them before you go up there.

The pics on the site are definitely not from Snow Valley! Despite being open, had not groomed the runs for more than a day, so very icy. Only had two lifts open until the last 2 hours of the day. The snow stunk, but I don't know that Bear would have been any better as its not far away!
