Snow Summit Bike Park Review

Read the story here: theloamwolf.com/2019/07/17/re...
We've set out to review some of North America's best bike parks this summer for the Loam Wolf Bike Park Review Tour. Snow Summit has deep history in the mountain bike world, and a special place in hour hearts. Located in Big Bear, California, the area has enough to do to keep you and the whole family entertained, but the trails aren't at the top of our list. We also report on some lodging ideas, things to do off mountain, and give you the local's spots to eat.

Love the 2 different perspectives. Looking forward to seeing more. 🤙

[@kylemcgoo5388]

Really recommend trying “tropicali” for post ride meal.. sooo good

[@xSwanlundx]

Kyle Mcgoo Second that!

[@socalshredin1922]

10 ply's awesome. newest trail at summit a vary technical double black diamond.

[@trenthamlin4805]

I went out there when I flew to Cali to see family. Coming from xc it’s awsome, loved it

[@TheSlowoldman]

Had a place there for 10 years. Used to race cross country there back in the NORBA days (early to mid '90's). Loved the riding there. Grizzly Manor is the BEST food in Big Bear.... I get the Grizzly Bear or the Mess, definitely worth the wait. Miss Big Bear a lot. If you're up for the Death Ride.... start in Mountain Home Village down off the 38 and ride up through Angelus Oaks, Seven Oaks and up to Summit House for lunch and then the ride back down...... 52 miles 8000 feet of climbing....all off road.

[@homeskillet64]

Thanks for puttin this together fellas, great tips.

[@jamesnorthcross8078]

I went for the first time this week. I had so much fun and had so many skills tested. I can't wait to go again.

[@TheLoamWolf]

That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@felix-ve8jk]

This video has me really stoked to ride Snow Summit. I just moved to LA last year and have been hitting Skypark a lot. Bought a lift ticket for last Monday and unfortunately broke my collarbone at Skypark last Saturday, just 2 days before tasting the glory of Snow Summit. Sucks, but videos like these keep me stoked

[@carissa642]

Yessss! Great review! I’ll be going for my first time tomorrow!

[@ScottysAnimals]

How was it? Did you rend a bike? In thinking of going on a weekday

[@johncast9565]

Love the review, my riding partner and I have the same differences about the park.

[@ChefIan73]

Was there about a month ago or the first time, and I’ll be back next Friday. Looking forward to riding those trails again now that their in my head a little bit, and I’m not riding blind 🤘🏽

[@topspot4834]

Second time always the best time at a park!

[@srikanthkrishnan4454]

Awesome video. Popped up in my recommendations. Liked and subscribed!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear your feedback.

[@zimmermandk]

great channel. keep it going

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you very much! We appreciate.

[@dev_IL666]

Yeah they building and stuff. But need to water more. Shit is to dusty and full of break bumps. Other than that bad ass and cant wait for more !!

[@mtb_alan]

Dig the review! You nailed it with your comment about having access to jumps to work on getting air. What did y'all think about the trails off the back side like Fall Line? Too bad 10-ply wasn't open when you were up. 🤘🏽

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yeah we missed 10-ply by just a few weeks! Can’t wait to ride it though. Those back trails are definitely fun too, they just aren’t a sanctioned part of the bike park.

[@ZZ-zu9nc]

@@TheLoamWolf they are apart of the adopt of trail program. Fall line is excellent plumbers is great and cabin 89 definitely more xc trails that are worth looking at next time you come through.

[@jmeyer61]

Thank, lads. I'll be in LA for five weeks this summer and can't wait to get up to Big Bear. In the video, you mention some other places in the greater LA basin. Any other locations you can recommend? I'll be on my Geometron, so will do both DH and some (moderate) pedalling (if forced). Haha. Anyway, any help appreciated.

[@xodanny2955]

isn't that the diesel guy??? uhhh fancy meeting you here

[@segamethod]

Drew, it sounds like you need to explore the trail network outside of the bike park that's accessible from the lift. Fall Line for example is one of my favorite trails up there, but it's not technically in the park. It's rough and natural, but note that it will have a lot more pedaling than trails in the park.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We’ve never heard of these trails you speak of and definitely didn’t ride them when visiting because they aren’t a sanctioned part of the park. Haha 🤓

[@mtb_alan]

@@TheLoamWolf Hey! Fall Line is sanctioned. I believe it's also managed by the park...? It is included in their trail map. 👍🏽

[@mtb_alan]

@@TheLoamWolf (not talking about any other Fall Line trail... 😬)

[@TheLoamWolf]

Imagine the backlash and upset people if we made public our knowledge or approval of any such trails we actaually love to ride. 😜

[@OutsideWatch]

Awesome video! Where are you riding next?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you very much! We just went through Steamboat Colorado to WinterPark and are now in Keystone Colorado. We appreciate you watching and checking out.

[@OutsideWatch]

@@TheLoamWolf Thats great man! You should upload your videos to our Campfire platform for a chance to win gear and be featured on Outside TV! Check out this month's Mountain Biking contest here: www.outsidetvcampfire.com/contest/about/july19campfirecontest

[@KDog2264]

I hope you do Whistler here in B.C.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We'll be there!

[@cooperdriz6516]

Need to fix those brake bumps for real!

[@matthewmarley3647]

I am so glad I live up there

[@nejcmirtic529]

Really like the review, two different perspectives work quite well. I also love the optional surrounding things to do besides biking. Great that you could use the part from 3:50 to offer the squirrel internet fame :D

[@TheLoamWolf]

Haha you got some hawk eyes!!

[@clarkpark]

Pedal for tech. Sit back and relax for flow.

[@cartterlong9464]

How would you compare this park to Mammoth?

[@slowbros4859]

Best park if you like sand,whoops, and joeys

[@RGAGS415]

OMG GRIZZLY MANOR 5 STAR. SHOW MORE OF THAT HOT FRENCHIE YEW

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yeah he's alright.

[@dorianlavergne9225]

Where can I camp for free

[@TheLoamWolf]

There’s lots and lots of free camp sites in the area. Some allow fires, but most don’t. Your limiting factor will be your vehicle as some are true off road areas. Most are just dirt road access. Check out freecampsites.net for pins and spot descriptions!

[@dorianlavergne9225]

The Loam Wolf I’d hike if I had to 🤘🏻
