Snow Summit has been a staple of outdoor adventure in Southern California since 1952, offering the best snow conditions & longest season thanks to its extensive snowmaking system capable of covering all developed terrain without any natural snowfall, conditions permitting. In addition to its superior snowmaking capabilities, Snow Summit was also the first location on the West Coast to build a permanent in-ground halfpipe in 1983 and served as host venue for the inaugural Winter X Games in 1997.
