Editorial Review for Bear Mountain Resort – by Jonathan Schultz
In Short
Glorious sunshine and throngs of teenage snowboarders preside over Big Bear's four densely wooded peaks. Indicative of snowboarding's immense crossover appeal, entire families can be spotted carving, sliding and jibbing down the slopes. Skiers are certainly welcome at Big Bear, but lifelong two-plankers might feel somewhat anachronistic when chairlift banter shifts from Bear Lake's beauty to frontside-fakies and reverse-grabs.
