This report is for: Saturday, January 28, 2006 updated at 6:00 a.m.
COME UP AND ENJOY THE BEST CONDITIONS OF THE SEASON! SNOWMAKING CONTINUES 24/7 AT THE RESORTS! FORECASTS
ARE CALLING FOR A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND WITH WARMER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE!
At Big Bear Mountain Resorts, conditions are way better than you may expect with more terrain open than
you realize! Two of the world's largest snowmaking systems plus a nearly inexhaustible supply of water
from Big Bear Lake have allowed our snowmaking crews to make snow around-the-clock for nearly two weeks
straight! No other resort in Southern California has the water pumping capacity (12,000 to 13,000
gallons of water per minute being converted to snow) or access to the amount of water Big Bear Mountain
Resorts does as other local resorts are solely dependent on well water for snowmaking. Coverage is
excellent on all open runs with a machine groomed packed powder surface. One lift ticket gives you
access to more open terrain and more lifts operating than any other Southern California resort.
Experience two distinct resorts with a free shuttle running between Snow Summit and Bear Mountain every
half hour. Nearly all runs are now open at both resorts with twenty-four lifts operating as needed. Go
to our Web site's photo gallery at bigbearmountainresorts.com for highlighted trail maps indicating runs
now open.
