Ski Big Bear has enjoyed excellent ski conditions for the past few weeks and with regular snowstorms those excellent conditions will continue. Ski Big Bear will operate on its regular daily schedule through Sunday, March 11th. It will then be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for as long as weather and business will allow.
After the leaves have fallen, the earthly contours of the mountains provide a peaceful beauty of their own. A fresh new snow on a sunny morning makes branches sparkle like crystal. Route 97 stretches like a roller-coaster through the river valley. Bald eagles are a common site any time of year but more come from Canada in the winter. It's a quiet time--good for hiking, reflection, reading a good book in front of the fireplace, a romantic dinner at a neighboring restaurant . . and a sumptuous breakfast in the morning.
