Skyline Drive via Sky Chair - Big Bear City California Mountain Bike Trails

Skyline Drive is an ideal ride for the beginning mountain bike rider who wants a few thrills, a fairly short ride, a little climbing, a lot of downhill and a fabulous mountain views high in the forest. Except for a few roller coaster sections, the ride is mostly downhill-virtually all of the elevation gain is achieved with the chairlift.
