Winter Storm Brings 1-2 Feet of Fresh Powder
(Big Bear Lake, CA – December 23, 2010) –It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Big Bear Mountain Resorts (BBMR) with up to two feet of snowfall blanketing the slopes just in time for the holidays. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are open with nearly 100 percent of terrain available thanks to this week’s storms and there’s more snow in the forecast.

“We had another foot of snowfall last night, bringing us up to around two feet of snow in the last two days with more snowfall in the forecast. It’s absolutely beautiful up here. It really looks like a real winter wonderland,” said Chris Riddle, Marketing Director for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “With all the fresh snow and once again, some great snowmaking conditions, skiers and snowboarders are in for a fantastic holiday on the slopes.”
Heavy rain, rock and mudslides have closed the front road, Highway 330/18 through Running Springs, but Highway 38 through Redlands and Highway 18 through Lucerne Valley are open with no restrictions.
