(Big Bear Lake, CA – February 11, 2010) – Bear Mountain is offering a dose of the Olympic Spirit as they unveil the only Superpipe available in Southern California. This 18-feet high, 580-feet long and 65-foot wide competition-class pipe is now open to all skiers and snowboarders who visit Bear Mountain. In addition to the opening of this massive pipe, Bear Mountain’s Park is getting a serious facelift as the park development crew makes use of more than five feet of fresh snow to build a variety of great new features. 

“Bear Mountain’s Superpipe is a big attraction, drawing snowboarders and skiers from all over the region who want to feel what it’s like to ride a pipe just like the USA Olympic Team,” said Chris Riddle, Director of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “This impressive feature gives seasoned riders a chance to channel their inner-Olympian and spectators an up close look at an X-Games-worthy pipe. If you aren’t quite ready for the Superpipe, but you want the experience, we also have a mini-pipe for the more intermediate level riders.” 

“Every year we anticipate the opening of Bear Mountain’s Superpipe,” said Bear Mountain team rider, Scott Vine. “There is nothing like dropping into a freshly cut pipe. It’s pretty unreal that a world-class style pipe is available in sunny Southern California every winter.” 

Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are having an epic season with record snowfall and a base of over 6 feet. Offering a variety of diverse terrain, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit provide skiers and snowboarders with a combined 438 developed acres, 26 lifts, including 4 high-speed detachable quads, and more than 55 runs.
