Big Bear Mountain Resorts Update:

Big Bear received 5 to 7 inches of fresh new snow from the weather system that passed through the Valley Wednesday and Thursday. Conditions are excellent with a machine groomed packed powder surface on a base of two to three feet! We are expecting only partly cloudy skies today with little to no daytime precipitation, so get out of the heavy weather and head to Big Bear Mountain Resorts for over 438 ski able acres! All three routes into Big Bear are open. Please read further for road conditions.
