Snow Conditions

Sunday, January 31st, 2010
Caltrans Workers, Big Bear Lake

We recieved an amazing amount of snow last year. The locals are saying that it was the biggest storm since 1969. The Big Bear Valley recieved over five feet of snow!

 Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are both reporting a base of 48 to 72 inches of snow. The snow conditions are machine groomed packed powder. All lifts and trails are open. If you love to snowboard or ski, conditions have never been better!

Next weeks looks like more of the same. We’re expexcting one to two feet of snow Thursday through Sunday. When you come to visit us, make sure you have chains in your car and warm winter clothing.

Here are some pictures we took while driving around Big Bear Lake;
