The forecast will be beautiful for Bear Mountain's opening weekend with sunny skies and daytime temperatures in the high 40s to low 50s.

SR-330 has reopened after months of repairs from the damage caused by the Line Fire. Please drive cautiously, as loose debris from the hillside could create obstacles on the road. The soil remains unstable due to the burn, and with rain and snow expected this winter, driving conditions on SR-330 may feel different than what you're used to. Regardless of the alpine route you take to get to Bear Mountain, stay safe and drive slowly.

For any road-related inquiries, please contact Caltrans directly, as we do not own or operate the roads.

Lift tickets, season passes, and lesson/rental reservations are available for purchase online, in-person at any open ticket window, at the BBMR Visitors Station in the Big Bear Lake Village, or by calling 844.GO2.BEAR.

Please note, lift tickets, lessons, and equipment rentals can sell out. Get the best rates when you buy in advance.

Bear Mountain's Terrain Parks are perennially rated among the best in the country, thanks to our award-winning Park Crew’s dedication to constantly pushing the limit of what’s possible when it comes to park progression. During opening weekend, you will find 20 jibs and 3 jumps spread across the top to bottom Park Run trail located off Chair 9.

Bear Mountain will offer group and private lessons for skiing and snowboarding. Reserve your spot online at least 2 days prior to arrival or book a class on-site day-of by heading to the ticket windows if instructors/spots are still available.

**On days with Night Sessions at Snow Summit, the last Intermountain Shuttle pick-up will be at 5:30PM to return guests to Bear Mountain.
