Bear Mountain snow making

Due to unexpected cold weather in Big Bear Lake, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit announced today that opening day this season will be Friday, October 30th. Special early season rates for lift tickets are listed as $25 for adults, $20 for young adults and $10 for children. Here’s what the director of marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts had to say:

“This is our earliest opening ever in the modern era. With this rare shift in the weather, we opted to fire up the snowmaking guns a bit early to give our visitors a sneak peek at the great season ahead,” said Chris Riddle, Director of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts.  “In sunny Southern California, we rely on our unmatched snowmaking systems to provide quality snow for hundreds of thousands of skiers and snowboarders each season.”
