Family Fun Zone in the Snow

It's wintertime! That can only mean one thing...FUN IN THE SNOW! Fire up the SUV or mini van; gather the kids and grandma too, and take a short trip up to Big Bear Lake to experience real snow and real good times that will last a lifetime.

Memories
Do you remember sledding down snow-packed hills, or piling on extra layers to keep warm, or catching a snowflake with your tongue, or sipping hot cocoa next to a cozy fireplace or building a snowman with buckets of snow and a carrot for a nose?

Now is your time to relive those memories with the ones you love. Kids enjoy the snow more than anyone, and Big Bear Lake is only a short drive where kids can experience snow firsthand.

Activities, Recreation and Fun
Big Bear offers an abundance of winter recreation from skiing and snowboarding at Southern California's premier ski resorts to inner tube and toboggan rides down snow-covered slopes. You may want to venture into the backwoods to take in the scenic winter landscapes and enjoy nature's wonders. In fact, the snow is great for tracking animal prints. You could explore the winter wonderland via snowshoes, cross country skis, off road vehicles or horseback.

If your family is into wildlife be sure to visit Moonridge Animal Park to see real grizzly bears, wolves and deer up close and personal. Or for a real treat take a tour hosted by Big Bear Discovery Center to see bald eagles in the wild.

The snow of course is great for siblings to challenge each other in a snowball fight or build a snowman that looks like Dad. The good times are boundless in the snow. To create memories with your family book your stay online, or call 800-4-BIG BEAR (800-424-4232) to speak to a live vacation specialist.
