Mountain reminders

Plan for the season

Big Bear sits at mountain elevation, so sunshine, wind, snow, and temperature can feel different than the city below.

Winter

Bring warm layers, waterproof shoes, gloves, and tire chains when conditions require them.

Summer

Bring water, sun protection, light layers, and a jacket for cooler mountain evenings.

Spring and fall

Pack layers and check conditions before leaving. Mountain weather can change quickly.

High elevation

Drink water, use sun protection, and take it slow if you are not used to mountain elevation.

Before winter travel

Check road conditions, chain controls, closures, and weather updates before driving up the mountain.
