Winter is our favorite time of year. As the temperatures drop with the falling snow, we bundle up in our warmest and brightest-colored clothes and head to the slopes for long days of Big Bear snowboarding snowboarding and skiing fun! Big Bear is a wonderful place to visit or live in any season, but in our heart of hearts we know that it comes alive after the calendar pages turn to the winter season, and with the choice of two ski resorts and 40 trails, it’s quite obvious why we have so many visitors every winter.
