Bear Mountain reports 8 inches of new snow

Laura at Bear Mountain Ski Resort reports that the first storm of the season left 6-8″ of fresh snow. More snow is in the forecast for today and then they expect expect a few days of sunshine riding. 

Bear has more than 80 features, a
chance of more fresh snow on the way and excellent
mid-winter condition.

We recommend using Hwy 38- (through Redlands) or Hwy 18 (the back way through Lucerne Valley).
Hwy 18 thru Lucerne and Hwy 38 thru Redlands are OPEN with CHAINS
required on all vehicles except 4WD and AWD vehicles with snow tires.

Hwy 330 is closed below Running Springs. There is a detour through
Lake Arrowhead with chains required on all vehicles except 4WD and AWD
vehicles with snow tires, however this route is much longer and not
recommended.  All vehicles must always carry chains when traveling in
the mountains during winter months.
