Reviews: “Great winter sports right outside of LA” On a recent trip to the LA area we decided to take a day trip up to Big Bear and it did not disappoint! I'd absolutely recommend it for a change of pace! The terrain park was very fun and the black diamonds were well groomed. Also, the view from the top is incredible! Go check it out! -Caitlin ShawBarry “Snowboarding” The drive up the mountain to get to the resort was was a bit heinous, but the views were spectacular! The ski season was winding down so there wasn't a whole lot of snow on the mountain. This, however, made for some great spring conditions. Was able to hit the hill in jeans and t-shirt. Black diamond runs were still open from top to bottom. Enjoyed a cocktail on the beautiful outdoor patio afterwards. Awesome experience! -kr w
