The Old Miners Association and the Big Bear Valley Renaissance Society are delighted to announce the Country Fair and Loggers Jubilee. Hosted in the lovely little town of Fawnskin, the event will showcase the entire nineteenth century, including Victoriana, pioneers, the wild west, old miners, loggers, and the American civil war. Come prepared to encounter literary characters and authors, historical figures, shoot outs in the streets, arrests and judgments from the “Hangin’ Judge.” There will be period entertainment and games. The children’s area will have games and crafts and contests befitting an 1800’s Country Fair. For more info please call (909)866-4607.

The Summer is in full swing on Big Bear Lake. The temperatures have been reasonable, but we felt the need to get out on the Lake anyway. We like to head down to the west end of the lake and tie up for dinner. It makes for a relaxing sunset.

The Lake supports fishing, boating, water skiing, jet skiing and we have a new cable wake boarding park. Watch the video below to see some on the things happening in the mountains of Big Bear. If you need a mountain cabin, give us a call.

Bear Mountain opened this past weekend. The beginner area (Inspiration Trail) is open with a dozen features and eight to twelve inches of machine made snow. Due to limited operations, the Resort has reduced the price of an adult lift itcket to $20. The Beach Bar and BBQ, rentals, lessons and the Ice Box Apparel and Accessories are also open.

 It looks like the temperatures will stay cold enough for the Resorts to blow snow several nights this week, and we may see some of the natural stuff by next Sunday. White Christmas anyone?
