Big Bear & Running Springs

Big Bear is home to Southern California’s winter playground! It’s just a short drive away to play in the snow. The mountain resort is loaded with winter and year-round activities. Skiing can go through April and sometimes event into May. It all depends on how the winter went. Last year some mountains were still skiing into the month of May. Please find out closer to Pesach if Skiing and other snow activates are still available.

Big Bear Lake is home to Southern California’s two premier ski resorts. Snow Summit and “The Park” at Bear Mountain. Skiers and snowboarders are not the only ones taking advantage of Big Bear’s snow-covered mountains. Other Activities in Big Bear and Running Springs include: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill inner tubing, backcountry off-roading, sledding, hiking, ziplining, fishing, biking, horseback riding, shopping and other mountain activities.

Children who visit Big Bear Lake can experience the thrill of inner tubing down snow packed slopes, which are specifically designed for good times. Parents too, can relive their youthful days and glide down the smooth vertical incline for a fun-filled ride. Inner tubing in the winter wonderland is the ultimate outdoor family outing that creates memories that last a lifetime. Many families have made sliding down the slopes of Big Bear Lake an annual tradition. Snow tubing usually goes through the end of April

Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain and Big Bear Snow Play both have snowmaking systems to ensure there is always snow for inner tubing thrill seekers. Each facility also makes it easy to get up the hill with a Magic Carpet ride to the top. The moving conveyor belt eliminates the stress of climbing the hill and provides more opportunity for having fun. Alpine Sliding is open year-round.

Experience the sensation of flying through the air just like a bird. Zip lining tours in Big Bear Lake give you the opportunity to do just that.

Highly trained guides facilitate the entire tour from equipment checks to clipping in each participant to the zip lines. Guests are fitted with the required equipment including harness, helmet and heavy duty gloves. Zip it up and take flight in Big Bear any time of the year.
