Big Bear is a true four-season resort town — winter skiing and snowboarding, a summer lake full of boats, plus zip lines, an alpine slide, a wildlife zoo and a walkable Village of dining and events.
Every Season
The reason Big Bear rents and sells so well is simple: there's always something to do. Here's the year-round rhythm.
Big Bear is Southern California's ski town. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain (together, Big Bear Mountain Resort) sit two miles apart with terrain for every level, plus terrain parks and the region's largest beginner areas. Off the slopes there's snow tubing, sledding and cozy Village nights.
When the snow melts, the lake takes over — boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and parasailing on Big Bear Lake, plus a lift-served bike park with 60+ miles of trails, a zip line, hiking and the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain.
Year-round you've got the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, The Village's shops and restaurants, the Big Bear Solar Observatory on the lake, and a packed calendar of festivals and events — so there's rarely a slow weekend.
