Never Too Many Snow Days
The Christmas season is typically when Big Bear starts to see snowfall. If you are traveling from the Southwest, you may not often get to experience this magical moment.

See what the fun is all about by taking to the mountain and its many ski trails. There is no wrong way to celebrate the holidays with a little snow around you!
