So you decide to drive up to Big Bear for a weekend and wonder if there is something to do. Our Mountain Community offers year round activities and 300+ days of sunshine per year. So, get out and enjoy paradise in the mountains.

Here are 5 reasons to be in Big Bear.

1. Summers are cooler, could be 20+ degrees cooler than "down the hill"

2. No Smog!

3. 7 mile lake with 22 miles of shoreline. How about some water skiing, parasailing or rent a pontoon boat.

4. Take a hike - we are surrounded by the forest, go out and explore. The Snow Summit Scenic Sky Chair is now open daily effective June 21st and runs through September 1st.

5. Buy your own piece of paradise. Prices are down and inventory is up. Start your search here.

5.5 Concerts, car shows, motorcycle runs, antique/craft faires, road races, bicycle events, off road weekends, Jeep Jamboree and it does go on and on...
