Looks like we are getting a nice spring storm as the temps have dropped and the clouds are rolling in. This week on the mountain should be epic for all of you that can make it up. For sure to have little to no lift lines at the slopes and when this storm is all said and done we could have another 1 - 2 feet of fresh powder. Call in sick to work now...it'll be worth it!

100 Things - BBV Staff Picks

Sarah's Pick of the Day. #25. Ride the Sky Chair to the top of Snow Summit.



The sky chair is one of the best ways to experience Big Bears true beauty. Enjoy the fresh air and scenery during the ride to the top. Once your at the top there is plenty of things to do! Knock a few other items off the “100 Things to do list” such as hiking, picnicing, or collecting pine cones for that bird feeder. Give the View Haus restaurant a try for some good food and atmosphere. The Sky Chair has a lot to offer, bring someone special and create a memory that will last forever.

Spring Skiing!


It's that time of year again. Time to break out the t-shirt and sunscreen and hit the slopes under a big blue sky. Big Bear is one of the most enjoyable places to experience this type of skiing as the cold nights keep the snow in great shape for the warm days. With little to no lift lines and tons of snow left over from February now is a great time to visit Big Bear!

Check out the Current Snow Report from Bear Mountain Resorts:

Sunny SoCal weather never seems to disappoint. Clear blue skies and temps in the upper 50′s are on tap this weekend in Big Bear. The snow coverage is excellent and all runs are open at both resorts so work that dual mountain lift ticket!
