History

Continued Charm

Snow Valley has been a treasured destination since 1924 when the first “sling lift” was built in San Bernardino Mountains. Originally named “Fish Camp” for the pond located nearby, the hill quickly became a favorite among locals and beyond. Today the resort boasts Southern California's only six-person chairlift.
