Mountain Peaks

Bear Mountain

(3,262 ft/994 m) – This is home to some of the steepest bump runs found on the East coast and fun terrain parks.  Some to test your skills on are Outer Limits, Devil’s Fiddle, and Wildfire!  The lodge at the base of the mountain is the ideal place for taking in the afternoon apres-ski festivities!

Sunrise Mountain
