Spring Break, A Prime Time For Skiing
Spring Break 2024 is in full swing, with the final weekend (March 22–24) offering the ultimate last-chance adventure. While crowds thin slightly compared to earlier weeks, the energy remains high—think sunny skies, festive vibes, and slopes that are still packed with up to 48 inches of snow at higher elevations. This is the sweet spot: you’ll avoid the mid-break rush but still enjoy vibrant après-ski scenes and family-friendly events. Schools and workplaces across Southern California wrap up their breaks around March 23, making this weekend your final opportunity to capitalize on the season’s best conditions. And with Big Bear’s snowpack peaking after this week’s storm, there’s no better time to carve into groomed runs or snap photos of snow-dusted pine forests.
Pro Tip: Book your cabin early! Demand surges as last-minute planners scramble to secure lodging. Check availability now to lock in your stay.
Big Bear’s Snow Report: A Late-Season Miracle
Mother Nature delivered a spectacular gift this week: a heavy snowstorm dumped nearly 4 feet of fresh powder on Big Bear’s slopes, about 48 inches of which remain. While some snow has been machine-groomed for smoother rides, the base layer is all-natural, ensuring excellent coverage at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Groomed snow is ideal for both beginners honing their skills and experts craving speed runs.
The resorts are operating at near-full capacity, with 90% of trails open. Terrain parks are also freshly maintained, so freestyle skiers and riders can hit rails, jumps, and halfpipes with confidence. Night skiing sessions are still available, too—imagine gliding under starry skies with the mountains glowing around you!
Snow conditions this good won’t last forever. Book your cabin today and claim your slice of spring break magic.

Before you hit the road, note that State Route 330 (SR-330) remains closed until 4pm Friday, March 21, for storm-related repairs. But don’t let that deter you! Alternate routes are scenic and straightforward:
SR-38 through Redlands: A forested route perfect for avoiding traffic.
