Big Bear Mountain Resort Reviews

by My5t1c_tac0

BigBearMountainResort is just a wrapper on the web site, only site designers didn’t plan for it to be wrapped. Accept cookies buttons obscured. Does not remember reservations. Does not support apple pay. Cart cuts off item definitions at 3 items. Overall, complete garbage. Just use the web site.

Took my two boys to Big Bear for the first time. Planned a 3 day trip just so we can go tubing at the resort and bought tickets in advance for a 2 year old and 5 year old. When we got there they said we (mom and dad) needed tickets to go tubing w our kids despite what the website stated, which was that young children had to be in tube w an adult. We were happy to buy tickets for ourselves, but the employee said their slot was full and we were unable to buy tickets. We were very sad and disappointed by the experience. Worst experience ever to leave with your children crying because they couldn’t go tubing. Never visiting this place ever again!

This new not so genius idea of a micro small camera view so people can move the camera is stupid. You cannot easily view the mountain as before. Not sure why all ski resorts are doing this now. This was so helpful to see an actual full screen experience and not a thumbnail size.

Had all the information as the normal site - but not friendly with phone screens.

Please bring back the animated play back of tracking. Web cam screen only works in portrait view which makes the picture very small. In older version we were able to view in landscape mode..currently the website provides quicker access to info. Only thing positive about app is now it forward Heath data to Apple fitness app.

There are issues logging in to view your season pass.

It would be useful if BigBearMountainResort would show basic information such as operating hours. I never remember if the lifts start running at 9 or 10am.

The last update that was supposed to update the trail map actually removed two of the primary runs from the open or closed list??? Summit run and miracle mile both missing.

Questions I have:
* why can’t we login with our big bear account? Facebook has nothing to do with it.
* why are the cameras always showing last nights pictures and not a feed?
* why is there a link for pass holders that goes to a page about buying a pass?
* why is the parking page not showing us where the lots are and if parking is open?
* why can’t we make reservations directly in BigBearMountainResort ?

Basically this is a curated subsection of the main website; the one interesting feature for tracking looks cool, but doesn’t make up for the rest basically being a slower version of the main site.

Hope this is just a foundation for them to build on and deliver a more useful app experience for their customers. With covid in full swing, having an app that is leveraged to reduce human interaction will be critical to helping reduce the impact of being open during the pandemic.

Good all around but they removed one of the best tracking features for no good reason! The tracking used to show a heat map of your runs so you could see your top speeds and average speed more accurately. Bring it back please!

I don’t like how you have to click record before every run. Also, it would be nice if we could see the stats for the individuals runs separately. Finally, when I share through email, it only sends part of the map and no stats.

Helpful app for days (and nights) on the mountain! I like that it lists the open trails and lifts, and also includes weather reports and road conditions.

Love being able to see how fast and far I’ve gone after a long day on the hill

by OSnowking

Your lift operators are the nicest people I’ve met!

by Zjudge

Provides up to date information in everything you need to know about Big Bear including events, weather forecasts, and road reports, plus more!

Solid app.... has most of the bells and whistles any social, tracking, informative app should have at the touch of your fingers.

Wish list for app:

- commingle with Garmin watches (fenix models) and Strava for all the sporty peeps.

- club feature, similar to coffee point system type rewards.

Look at the webcams almost everyday!

by Tedros99

Works well even in no cell service area with gps always telling me where I am on the trails.

by Wartracer

BigBearMountainResort is really great! Having a map, forecast, tracking, etc. ability in the palm of your hand is very convenient. An especially nice addition is the “emergency” button.

Some pictures freeze up BUT OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE IT! Its so helpful and u can call patrol whenever u need! The pictures are pretty clear and maps are super helpful too! Love this!!

by The Sideshowbob

All of the features are ideal, but needs a few fixes to be solid.

1. I though that after checking in that it would automatically track my runs, so went half of my day without any stats. Since it's tracking my location on the mountain, I wish it would automatically start as I got off of the lift (could be done by starting once the rapid elevation gain stops). Having to take my glove off every time I start a run sucked.

2. The chair lifts are not labeled on the map??

3. Needs a ton more challenges, like being able to select what run you're going to do and then having time trials down that route. Check games like SSX 3 for challenge ideas.

4. Another cool feature would be for users to be able to host races at the tops of runs, so that a certain amount of people could join who were also there and race or challenge each other to different things.

5. A couple of times the map froze and freaked out on me. Had to close a reopen BigBearMountainResort .

I'll update my review as time passes :) Great app overall.

by Teecle

I like the concept of BigBearMountainResort , but I wish it didn’t cancel music that’s playing before BigBearMountainResort launches. Great app tho!

by Grammy Bobbee

This is a simple to use and very complete app. We have a vacation home in big bear, and this is most helpful for us – and for our renters-whether skiers or not. We love getting the weather road conditions updates automatically.

by JerrytownUSA101

BigBearMountainResort is so easy to use. Anybody can download and immediately start using all the great features. I recommend using the Trail map to find your friends who are at the mountain. Uses precise GPS location to show Facebook friends where you are. 5 stars!

by Spirit The Wolf

Well look no further, this is my first year getting a season pass to this mountain! Wow, I'm so impressed with how well put together BigBearMountainResort is, can you use a super simple app?
Do you want to have the lift & trail maps at your finders click away?
Do you ever want to know where your friends are at the resort?
Do you ever want to track your speed, How many runs, & how long you rode for?
Do you want to know the forecast, alerts, & upcoming events?

Yea?
Well look no further they have it all! With there amazing park, & all around perfect so cal mountain, you literally get it all at big bear with BigBearMountainResort!

Mammoth has finally succeeded in making the bear app function like their own mountain app. The team in big bear is updating the content daily---today I got a notification for road closure on the 330. Very pertinent info. No bs. Great download.
