Snow is Coming…Time to Light up the Fireplace
Posted by Blog under Hiking - Nature - Outdoors , Skiing - Alpine/Downhill , Snowboarding , Winter ActivitiesThe snow is coming sooner than you think. The forecast shows snow sometime this week. The good folks at the Big Bear Lake Resort Association have a special “Guess the First Snowfall in Big Bear” contest for the 2008/2009 season, check it out at www.visitbigbearlake.com. The winner of the contest will win a pair of one day lift tickets good for Big Bear Mountain Resorts (Snow Summit & Bear Mountain).
I know the snow is going to be here soon, so I went out and bought a truckload of firewood. I just finished stacking it up in the storage area at my house. I should be set for at least two months.
A crackling fire in the middle of winter in Big Bear is such a treat. It’s the epitome of winter ambiance with toasty flames proving warmth and outside the snow quietly cascades to the ground.
One of the great things about Big Bear is there are plenty of lodges and cabins that provide a fireplace. Some are gas, but a good majority are the good old fashioned wood burning fireplaces. When you book your winter stay in Big Bear this winter make sure to get a fireplace.
Stay warm,

I think I’ll take bets on when we’ll have snow here in Central Florida. My crystal ball says: I’m going for Dec. 5th, the night of Light Up Winter Garden. I know this because: Our Parks and Recreation promise to deliver truckloads of REAL SNOW!. In the meantime I’ll just wonder over the local pack n ship office, dump a box full off peanuts on the floor and make my own snow angels. We’re already getting some record cold weather here and early this year. Could prove interesting.
I’d love to watch a beautiful snowfall outside (obviously not here) in the mountains, maybe Cashiers in NC, sip hot cocoa (or more) and snuggle up with someone charming and fun with a fire, marshmellows too, after a long day playing on the slopes.
