Snow Summit 1st Snow Blowing 2011
Winter blew in, tipped her hat, and that changed everything in the Big Bear Valley.
In a few hours time, the temperatures plummeted, the roads went from clear to R-2 chain conditions and the mountains were engulfed in white.
With 6″ of fresh snow, the mountain resorts took full advantage of the cold storm and started blowing snow in earnest.
With this encouragement from Mother Nature and Thanksgiving coming so soon, Big Bear promises to be a slope rider’s paradise in time for the holidays. We expect an Opening Day announcement any moment now.
Autumn leaves meet snow laden pine boughs.
One look tells you, Fall and Winter have met. The last of the Autumn colors have given over to the bright white snow. We begin the transition to the Winter Wonderland of the San Bernardinos. Pure White, dark Evergreens and the subtle background browns, focused against Big Bear’s famous blue skies; these are now the predominant colors.

Bundle Up! Cozy and warm is what you want to be because, storm #2 is blowing in Sunday afternoon. If you haven’t shaken out your sweaters, snow pants and extra blankets, now is the time. The temperatures have dropped into the 20′s at night and are headed toward the teens.
There is a possibility of a few more inches to dust the hills and homes. This should be real encouragement to all those who have waited too long for the frosty weather to return.
We are all looking forward to a lovely white Winter.

(Big Bear Lake, CA – February 11, 2010) – Bear Mountain is offering a dose of the Olympic Spirit as they unveil the only Superpipe available in Southern California. This 18-feet high, 580-feet long and 65-foot wide competition-class pipe is now open to all skiers and snowboarders who visit Bear Mountain. In addition to the opening of this massive pipe, Bear Mountain’s Park is getting a serious facelift as the park development crew makes use of more than five feet of fresh snow to build a variety of great new features.
“Bear Mountain’s Superpipe is a big attraction, drawing snowboarders and skiers from all over the region who want to feel what it’s like to ride a pipe just like the USA Olympic Team,” said Chris Riddle, Director of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “This impressive feature gives seasoned riders a chance to channel their inner-Olympian and spectators an up close look at an X-Games-worthy pipe. If you aren’t quite ready for the Superpipe, but you want the experience, we also have a mini-pipe for the more intermediate level riders.”
“Every year we anticipate the opening of Bear Mountain’s Superpipe,” said Bear Mountain team rider, Scott Vine. “There is nothing like dropping into a freshly cut pipe. It’s pretty unreal that a world-class style pipe is available in sunny Southern California every winter.”
Bear Mountain and Snow Summit are having an epic season with record snowfall and a base of over 6 feet. Offering a variety of diverse terrain, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit provide skiers and snowboarders with a combined 438 developed acres, 26 lifts, including 4 high-speed detachable quads, and more than 55 runs.
