26/27 Season Passes for Ski Resorts in SoCal and Neighboring Areas Go on Sale
Season passes for the 2026/27 ski season are going on sale now, and at most resorts, spring pricing is the lowest it will be before the new season opens. Some passes — particularly at Big Bear Mountain Resorts and Mountain High — are valid immediately, meaning buyers can use them for the remaining weeks of the current 25/26 season as well.
The following is an overview of season pass options available to Southern California skiers, from local San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains resorts to destinations in neighboring states, as well as the multi-resort Ikon Pass.
Big Bear Mountain Resorts — Bear Mountain, Snow Summit & Snow Valley
Big Bear Mountain Resort operates three ski areas in the San Bernardino Mountains: Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, both located in Big Bear Lake, and Snow Valley, located in Running Springs. The resorts sit at approximately 8,800 feet elevation and are roughly 100 miles from Los Angeles and 120 miles from San Diego.
Season passes purchased now are valid for the remainder of the 25/26 season as well as all of 26/27. Pass prices increase once the current season ends.
Mountain High
Mountain High is located near Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains, about 75 miles from downtown Los Angeles and approximately 100 miles from San Diego. The resort is one of the few in Southern California to offer night skiing.
Season passes are valid for the remainder of the 25/26 season and all of 26/27. Pricing is $579 for adults (ages 23–69), $529 for young adults (ages 13–22), and $319 for children (ages 6–12).
Mt. Baldy
Mt. Baldy — formally The Lifts at Mt. Baldy — is situated in the San Gabriel Mountains within the Angeles National Forest, approximately 45 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and about 90 miles from San Diego. The resort reaches nearly 8,700 feet in elevation and is generally regarded as offering more challenging terrain than the Big Bear resorts.
