Sunset


Another beautiful sunset on Big Bear Lake

Some of the Good Stuff

"Making Snow at Snow Summit - 11/19/09"


Awoke this morning to the soothing sounds of Bear Mountain Resorts making snow! It's kind of a hmmmmm'ing sound in the distance you can hear from most areas of the valley. It's a great sound this time of year because it means one thing...SNOW!

In more good news, Bear Mountain Resorts released the following this morning:

"Central Park at Bear Mountain is open with 16 new terrain park features, including an Up Flatbox-Side Car with a 30-foot Press Box. Both resorts made snow last night and will run snowmaking into this morning. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain will make snow at every opportunity. Snowmaking will continue as conditions permit. As snowmaking progresses more lifts and runs will be available at Bear Mountain. We'll let you know Snow Summit's expected open date as we get closer."

Our Thanksgiving Special

From the LA Times Travel Blog

"I’m grateful for my many blessings — really, I am. But the thought of cooking a Thanksgiving dinner this year makes me to want to hide out until 2010. The only problem with that plan is that I’d really be missing out on the turkey and the trimmings, and of course the familial camaraderie. So maybe I’ll cart everyone up to a cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains instead."

"The Deal: Big Bear Vacations, which rents out over 300 cabins and homes, is offering a free prepared Thanksgiving dinner for those booking any of their properties for at least two nights during the holiday weekend, with arrival being on Wednesday, Nov. 25, only."

First Snow of the Season!

Just released from Bear Mountain Resorts!

"Big Bear has received a half-inch of new snow. It began snowing around 3am and is expected to clear out by mid-morning. Forecasts are calling for cooler days ahead and even colder nights which possibly gives us a snowmaking window over the next couple of nights. Come preview winter fun on Central Park run with a dozen terrain features. As snowmaking progresses more lifts and runs will be available at Bear Mountain. Early season ticket prices are just $25 for Adults, $20 for Young Adults and $10 for children."

Tour of California Headed to Big Bear!

On May 21, 2010 the Tour of California will converge upon Big Bear Lake for the first Mountain Stage finish in the history of this race. This stage of race, stage 6 of 8, could be the make or break stage for the pro cyclist taking part in this annual event. Bike races are usually won, or lost, in the mountains, and that's exactly what we have here in Big Bear! While the official route has yet to be determined, chances are good for a finish in town, either at Snow Summit or Pine Knot, where there will be plenty of space for the MILLIONS of spectators expected. Maybe we will see this guy in town!
