Weather and Road Conditions

Snowmaking and a little help from mother nature has given Snow Summit two inches of new snow. It’s machine groomed and supports three features.


Local weather forecasters expect us to pick up six inches of snow in the next two hours. The next cold front is moving through southern California.

Our road conditions are R2. Chains are required in some parts of the Valley. We expect the chain restrictions to cover the entire Valley soon.

If you are driving into Big Bear CA, please use caution. Much of the Valley is currently in white out conditions and the weather is expected to deteriorate. If you are already on the mountain. Go off of everything you can find, this is what we live for!

Big Bear Lake Snowboard Season Begins

Snow Summit opened for the season on Saturday, November 13. They had two limited runs. Miracle Mile was opened for average to expert boarders and the Bear Bottom run was open for beginners.

Bear Mountain hasn't announced an opening date yet. Local speculation says that they will open for the first weekend in December.

Local weather has been moderately warm. Things are expected to change by next weekend. We're expecting daytime high temperatures on the weekend to make it to the mid-thirties. Be prepared for colder weather and night time temperatures in the low twenties.

If you are looking to rent equipment we suggest you try Goldsmith's Boardhouse.
