What do you think of when you think about Southern California? I bet the word sunny comes to mind. How about the word sand or flip flop? Certainly those are images that come up as well. But, would you think of snow and winter sports? Not many people would. However, there is plenty of it in the second largest state. Northeast of San Bernardino, there is a place called Big bear Lake. And, there is plenty of skiing and snowboarding in Big Bear Lake California.

It is a picturesque mountainous region that rests nearly 7000 feet above the seal level. To its north is highway 38. To the south is highway 18. In between is seven miles of lake that travels along 22 miles of shoreline. There are four amazing snowy peaks. Can you imagine a more lovely place to vacation, especially if you are the type of person who loves winter sports?

There is plenty of fun there for all levels of expertise. You can take it easy with some lessons or hit the professional slopes. There are plenty of trails, plenty of ski lifts and certainly plenty of height, 1700 vertical feet to be exact. But, don’t worry, getting to where you want to go it easy with high speed lifts.

Perfectly groomed or powder runs makes skiing and snowboarding in Big Bear Lake California an experience never to be forgotten. But, skiing and snowboarding are not the only snow sports available. You can sled, skate or just make snow angels. Or you can take long walks through the countryside since snow shoe tours to scenic areas are also available.

When you are done skiing or whatever you are doing in the snow, you can visit one of the many other attractions available. At your disposal are many fun things for adults and children. There is a zoo called Moon Ridge Zoo. But, unlike many zoos this is actually an animal rescue and hospital. If a wild animal is injured, it is brought here for treatment and recovery. If the animal cannot return to the wild, it lives out its days in the zoo. Everyone will love visiting this place.

As much as skiers and snowboards love a good challenge, at some point the skis and boards have to be given a rest. Adults and children alike can relax before fireplaces and create the kind of memories that will last a life time. Imagine a hot fireplace bathing the entire room in warmth after hours of being outside, and finally resting, relaxing and enjoying a respite from the cold. The enjoyment doesn’t stop there.

If you have kids, babysitting and child care are readily available. There are places for the young ones to play while you are skiing. You will rest at ease knowing you can enjoy yourself and the kids are being cared for.

Spend your evenings and nights enjoying five star food and top notch theatrical productions. Your time at Big Bear Lake will be full of things to do and may well wear you down like no other vacation. However, the memories you create will be some of the best of your life.
