The calendar may say fall, but it sure feels like winter already in Big Bear! We’ve got snow on the ground early this year. Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are both open for business already; this may be one of the earliest winter season starts our ski resorts have ever had!
When people hear there’s snow, they always think of skiing. Big Bear has some of the best slopes in the state, in our opinion, and is definitely the place to head for Southern California skiing. At The Grey Squirrel, we have discount ski packages available when you book with us, along with Zipline and Segway Tour packages. Because — oh yes! — there are lots of other activities that you can do in the snow besides skiing! Snowboarding, tubing, snowmobile rides and snowshoeing all offer excitement and the chance to experience the season in new ways, and we’re happy to assist you in selecting the right options for your stay.
Of course, nothing bonds a family like building a snowman together, or having a good-spirited snowball fight. Our grounds at The Grey Squirrel lend themselves perfectly to both activities, with a large open area as well as lots of trees. There’s also an area just behind our resort that is perfect for sledding if the snowfall is heavy enough.
So you see, snow means more than just skiing (although the skiing is great!) There’s something for everyone, with all sorts of outdoor choices that can help your family get out of their daily ruts. We hope to see you soon!
