Amgen Tour of California rolled through Big Bear Lake two weeks ago. We went to the events and then watched the finish of the race. I had no idea being a procycling fan could be so exciting.
The event was a large untertaking for our community and required a year of planning and preparation.
“The Big Bear Climb” consisted of 133 miles of riding. The start was originally planned from Pasadena into the San Gabriel Mountains, then across HWY 15 into the San Bernardino Mountains. A harsh winter blew out HWY 2 so the race start was moved to Palmdale. The San Gabriels were approached from the north side instead. Stage 6, the Queen Stage included 12,000 climbing feet.
The weather on race day was a mild 63 degrees. Our skies were as blue as they could be! Peter Sagan took the race stage and Michael Rogers was the overall winner of the Amgen Tour of California.

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;
