      @@laderamtb3684 Going Green is supposed to be the beginner run. The key is to take breaks and not to ride while tired. If you leave Going Green at the top gate, you can ride down Coyote Road. I find it much easier and it puts you back on Going Green near the bottom. There is always Skyline Trail. You can take Pirates off of Chair 1 to Skyline and Fern Trail. That will leave you with a short ride back to the parking lot.

      And if that interests you, don't forget on the way up or down to Big Bear, Near Running Spring, there is a place called "Blondie" and they have second to none, Bombshell! that goes very well with their super burger, Ninja burger! Try them and their breakfast or lunch or dinner Stakes are great too.

      Additionally, if in Big Bear and across from Oak side, you can find Masala Craft restaurant that though very small, can really Spice Up your stay!
      masalacraftbigbear.com/
      At least one breakfast in the place they featured in the video, Grizzly Manor cafe is a must. The family running this business for long time, take real pride in serving you and feeling you enough fuel for a full day of snow boarding.

    Do we really have to see your faces time after time? Food? I always fond it boring to see a guy eat and show us what the food looks like. Really, who cares. Only a hand full. I want to see the area of scenery and interesting points. Showing yourself so many times is seen as you needed to feed your ego. Have a nice day and wish you the best.
