29th Annual Memorial Race — Snow Summit (Big Bear) — March 13, 2027

About this event

The 29th Annual Memorial Race Honoring Terry McDonald is a full-day alpine ski race and fundraiser at Snow Summit in Big Bear Lake on Saturday, March 13, 2027. Big Bear Mountain Resort publishes the official event window as 8:00 AM–5:00 PM PST at 880 Summit Blvd. and says the race will affect Lower Miracle Mile, subject to change. The event honors Terry McDonald, whose career at Big Bear Mountain Resort spanned more than 40 years before his death in 2021; all proceeds benefit the Big Bear Ski Education Foundation, the nonprofit managed by Snow Summit Race Team (SSRT). The first-party SSRT event page lists a $100 race entry fee. Online registration is not permanently closed: the resort says it is scheduled to open only on March 3, 2027 from 3:00–8:00 PM, and confirms that in-person registration will also be available on race day in SoCal Marketplace at Snow Summit. The exact race-day in-person registration time, category matrix, age rules, capacity, start list, inspection, run order and awards timing have not yet been published. SSRT’s exact event page currently labels an event schedule of 3:00–8:00 PM on March 13, which conflicts with the resort’s exact event page and JSON-LD; TrickBook retains the resort’s clearer 8:00 AM–5:00 PM host-venue window and flags the organizer discrepancy for confirmation rather than silently merging it. The event page’s current hero is a sharp youth alpine racer carving hard in a red-and-black jacket with helmet, goggles, poles and snow spray; TrickBook uses that exact first-party event-page image and does not claim it depicts the future 2027 running. No separate spectator ticket, livestream, replay or accessible viewing plan is published. Visitors who intend to ski or use lift-served terrain should obtain the appropriate resort ticket or pass, follow course barriers, and check the mountain report, road conditions and official event pages before travel.
