Review:
Great Bear Recreation Park is a ski area owned by the city of Sioux Falls. Often referred to as just Great Bear, it is situated in the northeastern section of the city. Established in 1963, the ski area opened with just two runs and one rope tow. Later, a lodge was built and more runs and tows were added.
Today, the park has twelve runs and three lifts: a handle tow, a magic carpet, and a quad chairlift. At Terrain Park, skiers can perform tricks like aerial maneuvers. The park is an all-season park, and during the warm months visitors enjoy spectacular views on the eight miles of walking trails.
