With exceptional fishing, hiking, and outdoor adventure opportunities in the summer, and amazing snowboarding, sledding, and skiing during the winter (yes, there is snow in SoCal), Big Bear Lake makes for a wonderful escape. The holiday season is an extra special time at Big Bear for those that prefer a traditional snowy Christmas, and the lengthy summers are overflowing with outdoor activity everywhere you roam. Warm, inviting, comfortable, and without the usual tourist trappings, Big Bear Lake is the ultimate mountain escape right in the heart of Southern California.
