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."

and as if that's not cool enough, you can ski or snowboard for FREE if you stay in one of our Big Bear Cabins! That's right. Just for you! Our early season special:

Time to put away the surfboard and wax up your snowboard.
Come enjoy the mountain before the rest of Southern California discovers
it's "Winter". Beat the rush and reap the rewards. Killer deals on
lodging, cheap lift tickets, short lift lines, no traffic and....we're a
WHOLE lot closer than Mammoth!

Our "Killer catch-the-first-snowfall, pre-holiday, Get-on-the-slopes,
Escape the Crowds" deal!

Lodging and Lift ticket at $95 per person/per night. TOTAL... No added
fees, tax included! And we'll throw in one of our famous T-shirts for
everyone in the party - for when the sun pops out.
