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.
