It’s absolutely awesome right now! Big Bear accumulated up to 10 inches of snow last night, and it continues to fall. This is the ultimate week to play hooky. In fact, I plan to take the afternoon off to either ride Bear Mountain or take a snow shoe hike into Bow Canyon or Gold Mountain. This is so exciting! I know I am going to make the best off the fresh snow and have some fun.

Goldsmith’s Boardshop rents both snowshoes and cross country skis. The have maps and a knowledgeable staff that knows the best spots for “non-downhill” winter sports. Enough of the talk, I am going to do the walk. Check in later, I’ll be sure to give you a first person account of the fresh snow.

Remember when you go snowshoeing be sure to bring a pal. There is no reason to go snowshoeing on your own. And always tell someone of your whereabouts and estimated time of your return.

Other than that get out and enjoy the fresh powder. It looks like Big Bear will have a blanket of snow to play on for weeks.

It’s Snowtime!
