Big Bear Adventure!

This week we are ditching the desert for the snow and exploring all the fun there is to be had up at Big Bear Mountain. Join Host Chloe Carlson as she unwraps it all.

Big Bear is an easy one and a half-hour drive from Coachella Valley. The close proximity makes Big

Bear and ideal breakaway trip for year-round outdoor recreation, a variety of accommodations,

shopping and dining. The great thing about this mountain resort is once you’re here, city pressures

disappear.

Big Bear’s local coffeehouse brews fresh vibes and authenticity daily. Known for its espresso and

specialty coffee drinks. Plus, a great selection of fresh pastries and breakfast and lunch sandwiches.

Big Bear Lake is one of the few locations in Southern California where it snows, which makes it a

compelling wintertime getaway. In winter, Big Bear Mountain Resorts offers first-rate skiing and

snowboarding at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Between the two resorts enjoy 435 skiable

acres, 26 lifts, five high-speed chairs, and more than 200 terrain features to ski or ride. Both resorts

are meticulously groomed every night with an around the clock staff to provide the best conditions

possible.

Big Bear Snow Play, home to Southern California’s largest snow tubing hill, is a great choice for

families that want to make lasting memories this winter. Big Bear Snow Play brings out the kid in

everyone with snow tubing on family-friendly slopes. Big Bear Snow Play makes it easy to get up the

hill with its two Magic Carpet rides to the top. The moving conveyor belt eliminates the stress of

climbing the hill and provides more opportunity for having fun. The snow-tubing parks’ snowmaking

system ensures there’s always snow for snow-tubing thrill seekers from November to April. Plus

nightly snow grooming to make certain for a smooth sliding experience.

Goldsmith’s Sports, Voted Big Bear’s #1 Sport Store, offers rental equipment and retail shopping.

Goldsmiths is known for its full-line of winter-related products, gear and accessories. Boot-fitting is

the shop’s specialty with master Fit Certified boot-fitters. Also, we’ll feature the ease of renting

snowboards / skis and gear at Goldsmiths Sports.

Witness the beauty of the San Bernardino Mountains and Big Bear area with aerial views like no

other. See countryside, landmarks, points of interest, lakes, ski resorts and more! This is an

excellent way to get a bird’s eye view of the snow-covered terrain below.

Nottinghams Restaurant offers a cozy, dining atmosphere complete with fireplace, perfect for après

ski. It features quintessential California cuisine like tender steaks, fresh seafood, grilled entrées and

pasta specialties. A craft beer or one of Nottingham’s signature cocktails or are the perfect

complement to these palatable dishes.

After a full day of playing in the snow, you’ll want to stay the night. Big Bear Cool Cabins, voted the
