Snow Conditions

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;

Bring your suntan lotion!

Meanwhile, the flowers are starting to poke through and the grass is starting to come in. Hikers and runners are out in the east Valley, on the Pacific Crest Trail. The views of the Valley from this trail are exceptional.

Weekend Conditions

Snow Conditions

We’ve been blessed with over 100 inches of snow this year (normal is 75 inches). Big Bear is covered with a two foot snow-pack and sunny skies. The sun will stay with us for most of the weekend and temperatures will be comfortable, in the mid-fifties. Both Resorts (Bear Mountain and Snow Summit) have great conditions. Their snow pack is between three and four feet of powder and packed powder. This Saturday, the Rotary Club with be hosting a benefit at the Big Bear Performing Arts Center. “Big Bear Idol,” is a free concert feature local students on vocals and instruments. Be sure to check road conditions prior to departure. Caltrans and local crews are busy removing snow from Highway 18, which they hope to re-open this evening. Meanwhile, you can detour through either Highway 38 from Redland or come through the high-desert side on Highway 18. Although this route is known for it’s hairpin turns, it remains relatively ice free during the winter months.
