About the Area


Cuyamaca Peak ski resort is located in the Cuyamaca Mountains in Southern California. The prominent mountain peak in the area is Cuyamaca Peak, which stands at an elevation of 6,512 feet. The resort offers skiing and snowboarding opportunities on the slopes of the mountain, as well as other winter activities such as snowshoeing and tubing. The Cuyamaca Mountains are part of the Peninsular Ranges, which extend from Southern California into Mexico. The resort offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

The best trails are considered to be the beginner-friendly Bunny Slope and the more challenging Fred's Folly. An interesting historical fact is that the resort was originally built as a summer retreat for wealthy San Diegans in the early 1900s. For beginner skiers, it is recommended to take a lesson from one of the resort's experienced instructors. After a day on the slopes, head to the nearby Julian Hard Cider tasting room for some apres ski drinks.
