Bear Mountain Ski Trail Map - Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Southern California's terrain park capital, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Bear Mountain Ski Trail Map is a layered wooden wall art piece featuring hand-traced ski trails expertly laser cut from premium birch and/or walnut plywood, a handcrafted tribute to the Big Bear Lake mountain that invented the freestyle terrain park and reaches the highest lift-served peak in all of Southern California.
The Birthplace of the Terrain Park, Captured in Wood
Perched in the San Bernardino National Forest on the shores of Big Bear Lake, about two hours from Los Angeles, Bear Mountain is one of the most distinctive resorts in the country. Spread across three peaks, Goldmine Mountain, Silver Mountain, and Bear Peak, the mountain rises from a base of 7,140 feet to a summit of 8,805 feet on Bear Peak, the highest lift-served point in Southern California, delivering a 1,665-foot vertical drop across roughly 198 acres. With sunny skies for most of the season and 100% snowmaking to fill in when the roughly 100 inches of natural snow runs thin, Bear Mountain offers a long, reliable season from November through April. But what makes Bear legendary is its history: in 1992, it built Outlaw, the first freestyle terrain park in North America, forever changing the sport. This handcrafted map captures every trail, park, and pipe across all three peaks in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Park, Every Memory
Bear Mountain is all about progressive, park-focused riding, with terrain that breaks down to roughly 15% beginner, 55% intermediate, and 30% advanced. Bear is home to the largest beginner learning areas in the region, giving first-timers a welcoming place to start, while Silver Mountain and Bear Peak deliver some of the steepest terrain in Southern California for those chasing a challenge, with Geronimo the longest run at 1.5 miles. But the mountain's identity is written in its parks. With more terrain parks than trails, Bear features a fleet of parks accessed off nearly every chair, packed with over 200 jumps, jibs, and rails for every skill level, plus the only halfpipes in Southern California: an in-ground superpipe measuring 580 feet long and 18 feet high, and a standard halfpipe. Generations of skiers and snowboarders have earned their tricks here, cheered on from the 13,000-square-foot sundeck at Laybacks Bar overlooking the action. Bear Mountain isn't just a place to ski; it's where Southern California's freestyle culture was born and still thrives.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Made in the USA
All Mountaincut wooden trail maps are precision laser cut and etched, hand-stained, and finished in the United States using birch and/or walnut plywood. The two-layer construction creates a rich, dimensional look where the mountain's three peaks, parks, and trail network stand out in beautiful relief. Hanging hardware comes preinstalled, so your new trail map will be on display in minutes.
Because each piece is crafted from real wood, no two maps are exactly alike, with natural variations in the grain and stain giving every piece its own character, just like a sunny park lap high above Big Bear Lake.
