WINTER RETURNS TO BIG BEAR!
Mother Nature left up to 4 inches of fresh powder overnight with more snow in the forecast tonight. Thanks to the very cold temperatures, the snow is dry and fluffy making for the best skiing and riding conditions all season!

Current Weather and Conditions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Big Bear Mountain Resorts, nearly all runs are open with 24 out of 26 lifts opearting as needed, thanks to two of the world's largest snowmaking systems plus a nearly inexhaustible supply of water from Big Bear Lake. Around-the clock snowmaking operations have been in progress since Tuesday night. Today's surface ranges from machine-groomed packed powder to fresh powder. Coverage is excellent on the open runs. Forecasts are calling for very cold temperatures over the next few days with a chance of snow showers tonight. Clearing is expected Sunday as this low pressure system quickly moves out of Southern California.
