Guests enjoy the tubbing runs at Big Bear Snow Play in Big Bear Lake, Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024.

Guests carry tubes to the tubbing runs at Big Bear Snow Play in Big Bear Lake, Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024. An early-season storm on Friday, Nov. 15 2024 brought snow to Big Bear, getting skiers and snowboarders excited about the winter season ahead. “The big thing is the big, bright, shiny new toy: the six-seat lift at Bear Mountain,” said Big Bear Mountain Resort spokesperson Justin Kanton.
The Snow Valley area will celebrate its centennial this year, dating back to when the “Fish Camp” was formed and permitted to allow outdoor recreation, camping and hiking. The recreational history there started the summer of 1924, when Big Pines Recreation Park was opened and thousands of Southern Californians began flocking to the mountains to enjoy four seasons of outdoor sports, according to the resort.
Big Pines Park was turned over to the U.S. Forest Service in 1941, and winter sports in the area continued to grow, with the development of three ski areas within the former park’s boundaries, which later became Mountain High. That night, there will be a centennial cocktail party at the Bullwheel from 4 to 8 p.m., with historical ski gear on display, a silent auction, presentations from historical society members, and the viewing of a new 100th anniversary video.
