Snow Valley Base Area

The Resort's Front Door

This camera surveys the base area of Snow Valley Mountain Resort, the low-elevation hub where the access road meets the parking lots and the main lodge. It is the point where every visitor's day at the mountain begins, whether they are unloading gear for a day on the slopes or gathering for a summer hike.

Gateway to the San Bernardino Mountains

Running Springs sits along Highway 18 in the San Bernardino National Forest, a range of pine-covered peaks rising above the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles. Snow Valley's base area anchors the community's mountain-resort economy, drawing visitors from across Southern California.

A Working Ski Resort

Since its early days as one of Southern California's original ski areas, Snow Valley has built out lifts, lodges, and terrain across its slopes. The base area this camera overlooks handles the steady flow of skiers, snowboarders, and staff that keeps the resort running throughout its winter season.

Part of the Big Bear Mountain Resort Network

Operated by Big Bear Mountain Resort alongside sister cameras higher on the mountain, this feed gives a ground-level view of the resort's operations, a counterpoint to the peak and trail cameras that survey Snow Valley from above.
