Big Bear Mountain Resort reports: "We are as anxious as you are to get the season started. Our snowmaking system was turned on at 5:30 pm on 11/26 at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain and all of our snowmakers are working very hard to get the resort open as soon as possible. We had a great night of snowmaking. Keep in touch with this report for our opening date."
