Snow Reporter Comments: ⚠️ Last updated: Wednesday, March 25 at 4PMBear Mountain is officially closed.Many of you have been asking, “I see snow in the forecast next Tuesday, will you stay open?” The answer is no. The snow is melting quickly, and current forecasts only call for a slight chance of rain and snow showers, with snow levels around 8,100 feet. Conditions are expected to be partly sunny with a high near 52°F. For context, the peak of Bear Mountain is 8,805 feet, which means the resorts are unlikely to receive significant snowfall, certainly not enough for skiable coverage.We want to sincerely thank everyone who supported us throughout this challenging and unpredictable season. As always, conditions are determined by nature, and at Big Bear Mountain Resort we follow those conditions closely without guaranteeing a minimum season length. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.As of 4PM today, all 25/26 BBMR Anytime, Midweek, Snow Valley Anytime, and Ikon Passes will be considered expired, along with associated benefits including Friends and Family lift tickets. Riders with 26/27 season passes are welcome to use their new pass today for closing day, and those passes will remain valid for summer 2026 benefits such as Scenic Sky Chair rides and mountain biking discounts.While Bear Mountain will be closed for summer operations, the Bear Mountain Golf Course located just across the street will open for the season on April 18. Tee times will be available to book online starting this Saturday. For those already planning ahead, 26/27 Premium Parking Passes will go on sale June 9 and typically sell out quickly. We hope you enjoy a safe and memorable final day on the mountain and look forward to seeing you again soon.
