An unusually early cold snap allowed Bear Mountain to make snow over the last several nights and prepare for one of the earliest openings ever. At 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning, the first chair was loaded and Bear Mountain is now officially open for the 2009/10 season. It’s time to dust off you board or your skies and get to Big Bear.
