Due to business winding down, Bear Mountain will not operate midweek but will be open on weekends! Bear Mountain Season Passes are valid at Snow Summit. The type of season pass still applies to the Snow Summit offer. Snow Summit will be open through at least April 18th and possibly longer with 100% open terrain. Head to Summit today and get in some fresh pow turns! El Nino hasn’t given up yet. It began snowing early this morning with 3 inches of fresh powder so far, and it’s expected to snow several more inches today and possibly up to a foot. With all of this new snow and below average temperatures this week, the snow conditions will be excellent.

El Nino Planning a March Miracle?

El Nino may have one more good snowfall in store for Big Bear. Mostly sunny skies are forecast through today then clouds are expected to come in Wednesday possibly bringing us several inches of new snow. Enjoy a quality spring day on the slopes today and we’ll cross our fingers in hopes for powder runs for you Thursday!

Sun AND Fresh Snow?

Suzie — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:15:02 +0000

Yup, only in Southern California can you have the best of both worlds. Mostly sunny skies are forecast through Tuesday then clouds rolling in Wednesday bringing us fresh snow overnight into Thursday. While our resorts still have plenty of snow for a quality spring day on the hill, it’s always a bonus to get in a few fresh powder turns!

Today will be amazing with mostly sunny skies, wide open runs, and all the park features you can handle in one day! If by the end of the day, you still feel the need for more Park riding, head to Snow Summit for the last Friday Night session of the season from 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fresh snowfall is in the forecast for late Saturday afternoon and evening so you’ll be able to get in plenty of fun riding before the bulk of the storm rolls in. Hopefully Sunday we’ll wake up to a few inches of fresh pow so plan ahead and be here early for first tracks!

Keepin’ it Fresh

Suzie — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:35:49 +0000

This has been an excellent season for natural snowfall! So far this morning we’re looking at a half an inch to one inch of fresh snow. This system is expected to clear out later this morning leaving partly cloudy skies today and mostly sunny skies tomorrow. With a possibility of more snow on Saturday, this weekend could be the powder weekend you haven’t made it up for yet so make plans today and be here early for fresh tracks!

All Roads are OPEN no chains required. All vehicles including 4-wheel and All-wheel drives should always carry chains when traveling to the mountains during winter months.

Good Snow=Good Times

Well, who’s claiming the illest line? Don’t worry we won’t call you out; it’s o.k. Brag about pow, but keep your hands down in the park. Pow is just one of those exceptions. Everything goes out the door on a pow day. It doesn’t matter what your wearing, where your from, who your friends with, or how chill you think you are; it all comes down to how much fun you had. The feeling of floating atop fresh snow through a Southern Californian forest is not something you can just go buy at the store, or even look at in a magazine. It’s an experience that I’ll say is irreplaceable. It seems like the natural goodness of our world is steadily fading and powder is one of the few remaining natural wonders. Only a handful of our world’s population will ever understand what it is like; and somehow we are lucky enough to be apart of that group! It truly is a blessing and I applaud all of you for taking advantage of it.
