“Now is the time to take advantage of great values at the park; lower rates plus our new discounts make for awesome savings just in time for spring break,” said Chris Riddle, Director of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “With plenty of snow, our staff has been able to maintain a world-class park well into the spring season. From the Skill Builder Parks to the Super pipe, Bear Mountain still has all of the variety and fun that you’ve come to expect.”
