All right ski junkies, we’ll get right to it. We know you want to spend every second of your stay out on the slopes, or shushing through the quiet backcountry, so we’ve gathered all the information you’ll need for your ski vacation. We’ve got lists of top ski equipment and gear shops in the area, lists of things to pack, and some quick safety tips to remember while you’re out there. We’ve gathered together advanced runs, intermediate and beginner runs, and where to find quality cross-country skiing experiences. And we haven’t forgotten after-hours fun either, with a list of bars and restaurants to try, like Nottingham’s Restaurant and Tavern.
Big Bear Mountain Ski and Snow Summit are the major ski areas in Big Bear Lake. One lift pass can be used at both resorts, making the area a tremendous value for the money. There is a free shuttle to taxi skiers between resorts, and you can take part in either private or group lessons. Check out our complete guides to ski Big Bear Mountain below!
