Bear Mountain and Snow Summit have always operated on a last-second basis. In other words, they like to announce opening and closing two days before the fact. While they won't set an official date for the end of the 2010 season here in Big Bear Lake just yet, Bear Mountain now operates on weekends only and I predict both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit will close their doors April 25th.
With the California sunshine in full effect and only a few weeks of riding left, everybody seems to be taking full advantage of the leftovers of an abundant winter. Here are some 100%-filmed-here videos to send Bear off into next season with nothing but love.
The first video is a 32 Spot Check at Snow Summit. Snow Summit has gotten the majority of my days this year as Westridge has been off the hook all season; big jumps, perfect lips, all of the rails and Chevy Blazers you can handle, and almost no lines. Chris Bradshaw agrees, and here he shows you that contrary to popular belief Westridge is still alive and kicking.
I've seen Drayden Gardner cruising around, hitting things that cause my testicles to rescind just looking at them. No surprises that Bear Mountain produces some top-notch groms, actually I think three or four or five of them went to USASA Nationals this year. Anyway, here is a ten year old from Bear Mountain that shreds better than you do.
The KR3W/Ashbury teams put on a little demo a few weeks ago that left "the scene" at Bear Mountain in the most creative layout of the season. No one can deny that the KR3W/Ashbury team absolutely shreds and with such a unique set up to session they got to bring out all of their skills. Enjoy.

Video Post 2010 #2
Time for another video post already!? Well, when your morning routine consists of sorting through 10+ fresh-out-the-oven shred videos, all of which happen to be bangers, the footage starts piling up. Gotta post the new stuff while it's still hot or some sick videos end up getting lost in the woodwork; so without further ado, video post 2010 numba' two...
TWSNOW has run this Sunday in the Park series out of Bear Mountain for several years now. What keeps it alive are two things: the Bear Mountain terrain park--always changing, never the same--and the Bear Mountain team riders with their insane style and creativity. Lately, Bear has been capitalizing on a long string of bluebird days (likely to last through the season) to film for their next annual promo video. This clip is worth watching for the tandem tail tap alone.

When the season makes it this far and things start getting stale, that is when you've got to throw in some switch-only days and put some spice back into life. This video is inspiration for the switch rider in all of us...
We all hate hearing but it's the damn truth! Summer will be here soon and it's never too early to start planning your summer snowboarding trip. Here's a preview of the breathtaking views, stellar terrain parks and excellent coaching found at Windell's up in Mt. Hood, Oregon. Milbery spends the better part of his year passing on knowledge hungry shredders, and I'm sure he's got a few tips to help you out as well.
Meanwhile, somewhere else on the very same mountain. Jed Anderson films an entire part using High Cascade Snowboard Camp's main park. Jed loves rails, which there is no shortage of at camp, but did you see the minipipe, jumps, and skate park? This all took place in only half of High Cascade's facilities! Visit HighCascade.com to find out more.
Last but not least, another location soon to be summer snowboarding headquarters, Whistler, Canada. Take a look at what our neighbors to the North finally get to enjoy now that the games have cleared out. Snow pack actually looks pretty good out there, so if you won't get your chance to shred Whistler during winter season Camp of Champions is sure to be poppin' off this summer.
