A
surprise cold snap whipped through Big Bear Lake this week allowing
for unprecedented, early season snowmaking at Bear Mountain and Snow
Summit.
Big Bear Mountain Resorts opened Bear Mountain today with Chair 5, Central Park Run and half a dozen terrain features accessible to snowboarders and skiers.
"This is our earliest opening ever in the modern era. With this rare shift in the weather, we opted to fire up the snowmaking guns a bit early to give our visitors a sneak peek at the great season ahead," said Chris Riddle, Director of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts.
Special early season rates will apply with discounted lift tickets available for only $25 for adults, $20 for young adults and $10 for children. Season pass holders are encouraged to get a head start on the season. Snowmaking has also begun at Snow Summit with an opening date to be announced soon.

Mountain High Resort in Wrightwood will open tomorrow, Oct.
29, making this the 13th year in a row they have been
the first resort to open in Southern California
with top to bottom riding. This also marks the resort's earliest
opening ever on machine made snow.
"This has the feel of a
great season. With our early opening, El Nino looming, and the economy
recovering, we feel very positive about the upcoming winter," said
Thursday will be open to season pass
holders only. Mountain High's $299 Anytime Season Pass is a
great way to save money. Regularly $599, this pass is good any day or
night during the season, including holidays, and pays for itself in just five
visits.
