7-Days of Free Lift Tickets for Your Kids
From Saturday, December 6 through Friday, December 12, children 12 and under get free lift tickets. Now is the time to plan your family trip – whether your kids are first-timers or mini-pros, a free week of mountain fun is waiting.
If you’re dreaming of a winter escape packed with snowy fun, fresh mountain air, and unforgettable memories, Big Bear has just what your family needs.
Families love this free week because it combines fun, savings, and simplicity. Kids can explore beginner-friendly slopes while parents enjoy the stunning views and fresh mountain air. With less crowd pressure and early-season perks, it’s one of the best ways to introduce your kids to snow sports in Southern California.
It is not merely a cutting down of the price—it is an opportunity to make real winter memories at lower expenses. The whole family is catered for with beginner-friendly open slopes, easy access and rental options. Parents appreciate the price and kids take delight in the liberty to play around in the snow.
Answer:To redeem a free lift ticket, simply head to any ticket window during operating hours or add a $0 ticket online. Either way, you and your child will need to go to the ticket windows day-of to print the physical cardstock.
Answer: Yes, while adults don’t need a lift ticket to redeem the child’s free pass, a supervising adult must be present at the resort during the visit. Also, although no adult ticket purchase is required to obtain the free child ticket, don’t forget to bring proof of your child’s age.
Answer: No, rentals are not included. You’ll need to reserve gear separately, either through the resort or a local provider. If you stay with us at Destination Big Bear, you can get discounted rental gear at GetBoards. See this promotion.
Prepare yourself and your little ones for a snowy adventure that will last in their memories forever! The Kids Ski & Snowboard for Free Week, with complimentary lift tickets for kids, is an excellent opportunity to have a mountain vacation without the need of making a big hole in your budget. This is one of the top winter activities for families coming to Big Bear.
