The small ski areas throughout Big Bear Valley eventually lost skiers to Snow Summit (founded in 1952) and Moonridge (founded in 1943 and now known as Bear Mountain) as those areas became larger and were outfitted with snow making. Skiers were attracted to the higher, longer and more plentiful runs, taking business from small areas without the capital or acreage to expand. By the mid-1950s, unable to compete, many of the small areas that dotted the slopes around Big Bear were eventually forced to close.
