New Snow Makes for 1-2′ Base at Bear Mountain; Dense Fog Likely in Portions of San Bernardino Mountains

Big Bear Mountain Resorts report that they have received half an inch of new, fresh snow since about 3am this morning and this, coupled with snowmaking in recent weeks, makes for a snow depth of 1-2 feet at Bear Mountain, which remains open through the weekend for skiing and snowboarding. Early season rates–at $25 for adults, $20 for young adults–are in effect, and half-day sessions are available, starting at noon.
Given this morning’s snow, the National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the San Bernardino mountains, given patchy dense fog on the coastal mountain slopes. Weekend highs are only expected to reach the 40s, so we can expect a cool weekend here in the Big Bear Valley. For details on local weather, tune in to Ben Brissey’s KBHR weather report, which airs at quarter after the hour here on 93.3 FM.

Our Friday the 13th started with a blanket of snow (here, at the golf course, with Bear Mountain in the background).
