(Big Bear Lake, CA – March 21, 2011) It may be March Madness, but the snowstorm that blanketed Big Bear Mountain Resorts over the weekend with nearly two feet of fresh powder is a March Miracle for Southern California skiers and snowboarders.
With Spring Break in full swing and great deals in effect, it’s the perfect time to hit the slopes and enjoy the mid-winter conditions before the season ends.
“It’s hard to believe Sunday was the first day of spring,” said Chris Riddle, director of marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “We couldn’t ask for better conditions to kick off the Spring ski season. We’ve got some great specials right now, including our Super Sunday deal, $99 Weekend Special and our Screamin’ Deal Season Passes. We’re also gearing up for the Grenade Games at Bear Mountain this weekend. It’s a huge contest featuring some of the world’s best pro snowboarders that was created by two-time Olympic silver medalist Danny Kass. It’s going to be an incredible week and weekend at the resorts. With all the snowfall, we have a solid snowpack that will last well into April, so there’s still time to get in on some excellent skiing and riding before the season ends.”
The recently introduced $99 Weekend Special allows skiers and snowboarders to ride Saturday and Sunday for one low price. And the Super Sunday deal offers a $49 lift ticket on Sundays through the end of the season. Guests must purchase tickets online for the Weekend Special and the Super Sunday Deal. The ultimate discount of the season, the Screamin Deal Season Pass Sale, is now underway, giving skiers and riders the best rates for this season and all of next season.
