Big Bear Mountain Ski Resort not far from Los Angeles (3/12)
Our visit to the Big Bear mountain ski resort was a great experience.
To begin with, the previous weekend snowed quite a bit, so all the runs were open.
I thought that this wold make it too crowded and crowded it was!
But to my surprise, thanks to how well organized the resort has it, from parking, to getting
your ski rentals, lift tickets and getting on to the lifts, it was no problem at all!
This crowded weekend, also made for a good skiers atmosphere. Hanging out at the front huge deck after getting our food from the food court was a great break from the slopes.
The runs have it all, from beginners to mid level to advanced and a great snowboard freestyle park.
These are some of their facts:
The mountain has 15% of trails for beginners, 40% for intermediate and 20% for advanced, all covering 85% of the mountain!
There is a total of 12 lifts with two being high speed.
There is also night sking! with the following schedule:
