Parking is free. A day lift ticket is $51.00 and its valid for Snow Summit too.
My first experience snowboarding was awesome! I had a great time! Apparently, I did well for my first time. I was standing after 1 hour. However, I don’t really know how to turn or carve (whatever you wanna call what I did.) After two times on the smaller bunnies course, we went to the longer beginners course. It was a lot higher up, but everyone said it was the same. I was freaked out about turning, so I ate a lot of snow. But all and all, I got a hang of it pretty quick and had a good ride down the mountain! I was so happy! 
I will go again soon!
Rentals: Sports Chalet has a $32 rental package (board, bindings, and boots) and they don’t charge you for the first day!
Food is served downstairs for a decent price. I have a cheese burger and it was huge. I ate most of it, but I was stuffed.
They have a bar called the Beach Bar… ironic name… but it serves beer.

Sounds like a great place to take a day vacation. I’ll definitely look into it, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Bear Mountain. Thanks!
