The first storm of the year left a sweet present of 6-8″ of the stuff we all love.  More snow is in the forecast for today and then we are expecting a few days of sunshine riding.  With 80+ features, a chance of more fresh snow on the way and excellent mid-winter conditions, Bear is the spot to kick off your new year the right way…..with some pow turns!

We recommend using Hwy 38- (through Redlands) or Hwy 18 (the back way through Lucerne Valley). Hwy 18 thru Lucerne and Hwy 38 thru Redlands are OPEN with CHAINS required on all vehicles except 4WD and AWD vehicles with snow tires.

Hwy 330 is closed below Running Springs. There is a detour through Lake Arrowhead with chains required on all vehicles except 4WD and AWD vehicles with snow tires, however this route is much longer and not recommended.  All vehicles must always carry chains when traveling in the mountains during winter months.
