Skiing & Snowboarding

Snow Summit or Bear Mountain are the two places for skiing in February – either one has fresh snow and slopes for every skill level from beginner to pro. You can rely on the existence of lifts, rentals, and lessons, which in turn makes it very comfortable for you if you are an absolute novice or an expert skier already. Besides, the mountain landscape gives gorgeous views of the valley while you are skiing down.

Snow Tubing & Sliding

In case winter sports are not your thing or you have kids with you, then think about visiting the tubing parks such as Big Bear SnowPlay or the Alpine slide area for the entire day of sliding and fun. Snow-play areas are great for toddlers since they give the children safe and supervised access to the mild slopes for going down. It’s a great chance to enjoy the snow without the hassle of full ski equipment or being a professional.
