Big Bear Mountain Resorts is expecting snow just in time to kick off the Holiday Season! We anticipate this weather front coming in late this weekend bringing with it possible snow showers and very cold temperatures which will give us another opportunity for us to make the favored white stuff.

Snow Summit:

FIVE LIFTS OPEN!!
5 Lifts are in operation: 1, 2, 3, 8 and Moving Carpet #3 providing access to terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Summit Run, Miracle Mile, Upper Westridge, Zzyzx, Ego Trip and the Bear Bottom Beginner's Area are all open with great conditions! We will open more runs and lifts in the near future as winter weather arrives and snowmaking continues.

YOUR RESPONSIBILTY CODE
-Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
-People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
-You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
-Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
-Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
-Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
-Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

Bear Mountain:

CENTRAL PARK OPENS TODAY!!
Central Park opens today bringing the total feature count to a massive 85! Bear Mountain has 44 jibs and 41 snow features set up throughout The Park!! Progression Alley is open and designed especially for entry level freestyle snowboarders and skiers, as well as for those who just want to aquire a lil' more style. There’s something for everyone at Bear Mountain! As snowmaking continues and winter weather approaches, we will open more runs in the near future.



SMART STYLE
Bear Mountain offers a multitude of boxes, rails, jibs and jumps that are created to enhance your Park experience. With a ton of new features at Bear Mountain it's tempting to go BIG! just remember to use Smart Style. There are three main messages that are associated with Smart Style:

1.) LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP: Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.
2.) EASY STYLE IT: Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended).
3.) RESPECT GETS RESPECT: From the lift line through the park.

SNOW CONDITIONS
SNOW DEPTH: 12-28 inch snow base on the open runs
SNOW COVERAGE: Excellent on the open runs, please use caution near the edge of the runs
