One of the most popular ski areas in California is Big Bear Mountain in the Big Bear Lake area of the San Bernardino National Forest. It is about 100 miles north east of Los Angeles. The Big Bear winter season runs from December until March, and there are two ski resorts in the area: Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Between them, these resorts offer more than 435 skiing areas and there are runs to suit skiers of all levels.
If you drive from Los Angeles International Airport, you can reach Big Bear Lake in just over two hours (although it could take more than three hours if traffic is heavy).
Accommodation is available in the city of Big Bear Lake and you will also find plenty of shops and restaurants there. If you want to take a break from the slopes, you can visit the Moonridge Animal Park, where you'll find many different species of animal including timber wolves, snow leopards and black bears. You can also visit the Big Bear Solar Observatory or find out more about the history of the area at the Big Bear Historical Museum.
As part of a USA travel guide, Big Bear Mountain is a great place to visit during a winter holiday in California. If you try car hiring during your stay, you can also spend a few days visiting some of the other fantastic attractions in California such as the Disneyland Resort at Anaheim, Universal Studios, Venice beach, Santa Monica and Malibu.
The beach and Disneyland are probably best visited in the summer however they are great options to consider at anytime of the year.
