Why Aren't You Riding Snow Valley Bike Park?

[@outdoorsandiego]

I think there is are several factors why Snow Valley doesn't get the love that Summit and Skypark do. 1. It's loose. 2. There is no intermediate jumpline. 3. It doesn't have much ambience. I had a great time riding there last year, but it's definitely third on my list. Skypark has such a cool location, great dirt and a wide variety of jumps. Summit has seriously fast trails and three great jumplines that allow you to progress without having to clear gaps. Summit also has miracle mile, a great long black tech trail that is rideable to most reasonably skilled riders. Snow Valley has one double black that is far more serious and far shorter. If I'm driving 2 and a half hours for lift service, Summit is going to win out.

I just think it needs more gnar like a miracle mile and 10ply kind of trail and people will go more

Came for the Snow Valley vid, stayed for the meatballs. Man it's so fun hearing you crack up over the steep and loose! Such a fun day. Thanks for being a great guide! ✌🏼🤟🏼

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Thank you for showing us Snow Valley Tony!!! It definitely exposed some corning skills that I need to work on to help improve my corning. It really does feel like a Mammoth Mt. Love that there are 3 parks close to each other and they all have a little something different and fun to offer us. I had an awesome time there and will be back for sure. I love that we could just ride up to the lift and go. No lines was crazy !!!! Winchester was by far my favorite too!!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Good times buddy!

[@mrlucifer4]

Go there twice a month,been going 2 years now and biggest reason is never a line,i go to ride not wait in line,ya it's loose and dusty but still always have a great time and get as much riding in as i want,paid $110 for my annual pass last year and you just can't beet the fun for that kinda money,Hope to see you up there sometime! Thanx for the post,all of them!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👍👊😉

[@geeneou5]

Great riding with you again Tony 👍🏼 Fun day for sure, and the mountain all to ourselves!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Absolutely!

[@TumorWarriorMedia]

Love Snow Valley, it is a great park...I think you should do a tour of the bike parks in the US or Western US and rate their Italian food

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

That would be cool!

[@frankramirez4818]

My dad taught me to ski at Snow Valley when I was 5. Used to force me and push me down the black Diamonds. At California State University of San Bernardino I had some college bodies who used to work there and new the owners very good and I use to be drinking in the Parking Lot and Running a Damn Rodio Show. Gotta go Bike there just somewhat of a intermediate rider with a beginner bike. I will need to rent.

[@venacava_mtb]

Awesome video Tony! Thank you for the tour! I don't know why but i need to get up and go get a meatball sandwich right now! 😂.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Haha yes!

[@danstanley9341]

“Center half” of the mountain. Solid.

[@jamesbrumfield1594]

If they were open on weekdays and the price were lower I would go. But with fuel, ticket and food prices it's not worth it to slide around on their berms. This place needs about $750K in topsoil in the form of a 1x6ft track down the mountain.

[@michaeljordan3084]

Yea last time there, I tried gunsmoke 5 times, didn’t clean it even once, but got close a couple times, froze up a couple also. Place is loose but super fun when it’s empty like that.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

True!

[@trailmonster]

That was a little bit like watching Mark's video, since some of the audio was the same since you two were Mic'd up, good stuff.

[@Calispeedboi]

Snow Valley is super surfy. Definitely like riding mammoth, gotta get loose. It’s super chill there and never really crowded

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👍

[@SickfoosMTB]

Nice riding! 👍

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👊😉

[@RydenDirty]

I want to have some redemption at snow valley. I was so scared cause I wasn’t use to the loose terrain

[@filmdbyjosh]

that place is under rated!

[@Resik307]

Great place for 1st time bike park experience. Loose and dirt surfing all day there but its definitely a great place.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Totally agree!

[@pedrobot5000]

There are actually 4 bike parks up there if you are down for some XC goodness at Rim Nordic (literally across the street from Snow Valley).

[@trailpimp6369]

Snow valley is so good and I love Kitty litter that is what the riding is like in Tahoe. I rode it and love it. Surfing the kitty litter is awesome.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

So cool!

[@paige6112]

When is the east coast trip planned?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Would love that.

[@MacGyverDad]

Although it doesn’t have the big mountain features that Summit has, it looks like a decent place to enjoy short lines and breathe some mountain air. I’ve hit Snow Valley many times for snowboarding and I enjoyed it for a nice casual day. Thanks Master of Marinara!! 🤌🏼🙌🏼

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👍👊

[@Randombikekid]

sick! I have never been to a bike park, should I go to this or snow summit? also why isn't this video food themed? We need some more spicy meatball content

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Haha - I’d say go here first. It’s a bit more mellow. ❤️

[@MyMTBVideoYouTube]

Snow valley 😊 😊 ❤️ Great trails that challenge different parts of your riding. High speed lift access. My guess it’s not as busy because it’s more technical. The sandy material on the mountain makes the trails harder to ride over all. But with that said there is allot to do here for all levels. Just take your time and learn the trails. Thank you for the video. 🤙🏽

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks!

[@brianwatson888]

I do most of my riding during the week so Summit isn't too busy. Snow Valley is fun, but I remember it being VERY loose and dusty/sandy. Valley would be a great option if Summit and Skypark didn't exist (or are too busy on the weekends), since both those parks have better trail maintenance. Valley tends to open earlier (in the season) than Summit, so that's a bonus too.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

True

[@martinvaladez2500]

Hi tony i ride on sundays only it is my day off I wish can see you one of this days in santiago it's hot but fun good videos Tony don't stop amigo

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Sounds great!

[@corym3985]

I know the GoPro lies but it looks a bit featureless and sandy. Not a lot of shade. It's a 2.5 hour drive for me and the lift ticket prices are all in the same range so Summit is where I go. I know that mountain well including a lot of the off park trails. Snow Valley might be a good place to take my kids riding, less crowded and more mellow.

[@themtbproject1422]

First time I’ve watched a video of snow summit I was so excited and couldn’t wait to get there fast enough, I’ve been watching video of snow valley for the past 2 years and I’ve never been there or planning to go anytime soon. No particular reason maybe the terrain it’s a factor?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Give it a try!

[@martinvaladez2500]

I want to learn jumps I am old but I can try looking you guys buena motivation santiago oaks ojala I can see you un dia

[@dennispikephotography]

Definitely putting it on the list of places to ride in SoCal. It didn't look like there was a lot in the way of features in this video. Was it because of the chill ride, or are there fewer at this park. Also, guess why I'm making meatball sandwiches for dinner tonight!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

A bit less features and more of a fun chill mode. Meatballs!

[@jacksondaniels8169]

Rode snow summit on Sunday.

[@danielg3078]

Love snow valley!

[@Jammer715]

I had to go out and get a meatball sub after this. Shout out to rieras place in redondo beach

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Hell yeah! 🤌🏼

[@dhrracer]

My question: Is there trail rating based upon just their own trails or vs other parks?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

I think it should be relative to other trails.

[@heyguyoffroad]

I think snow valley is pretty good. I’ve been there a couple times. But it’s only open on weekends right? Anyways when you pay for a season pass at snow summit I like to get as much out of that as I can. That being said I prefer summit more.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Cool - I think they're open Friday to Monday.

[@jaykim6412]

For some strange reason, I get the munchies when I watch your vids. hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- what are you up to Tony Rigatoni?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

😉👊

[@kylelamunyon6696]

I think I'll have a meatball sub for lunch, no idea why the sudden craving...

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

🤌🏼😉

[@StefsMTB]

I’m looking forward to some redemption coming up soon.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

There you go.

[@tgnilsson1]

Toooooo far away . Atlantic ocean and all US. Would love to go there thow 😊

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Maybe one day!

[@TheButlerNZ]

Why Aren't You Riding Snow Valley Bike Park? Because I'm 6.7k Miles away in New Zealand sat inside during a week of winter wind & rain wishing we had something like Snow Valley here.... Tho most of my vids are from a track only an hours ride away so roll on summer.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Hang in there bud!

[@jamesisntlame]

no way i was here saturday

[@markhowermtb227]

I also notice the smell of weed in that section.

[@rogerd9405]

The dirt is terrible. To call it kitty litter is an insult to kitty litter. At least kitty litter clumps. Why they don't utilize pavers to hold things together like Summit and Mammoth is beyond me.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Wow roger.

[@commenttuff8891]

Passes are like $300 that’s why. I’d rather keep riding saddleback for free

[@ripster10]

Needs water……

[@cellphonenut]

Hey Toni haven’t seen you post in a while is everything OK on your side of town

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Yep. Posted last week right?

[@cellphonenut]

Oh dint see that right on 🙃

[@cellphonenut]

The meatball parm watermark is hilarious

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

🤌🏼❤️
