If that's the case... bring your snow chains... I know a lot of SoCal people have trouble with this concept.

Last night was wonderful graupelly goodness, 8:40 pm.

Snow Valley has already cancelled their night session, BBMR day tix are sold out but apparently the night is still on. Could be a genuine nightpowder event tonight.

 

[socalgal]

We are thinking of going up to SV on Wednesday. But maybe Thursday. Either way, hopefully our first day of the season!

We’ve got everything we need.

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

It’s coming down pretty good, now!

 

[socalgal]

I live near Saddleback mountain (appx. 5600 ft) and it's getting a dusting pretty low!

So, what are doing regarding accommodations, with the restrictions and all? Feel free to respond via pm!

We didn't get IKON this year. Will purchase in the spring, hopefully for spring skiing and next year.

Both the frontside and backside are a cluster right now. Although it’s R2 conditions, the 38 has a 50 car pile up at Hatchery (Erwin) and another pile up at Forest Falls. There are some huge delays on the front side also. Anyone who is heading back down today, leave early and be patient.

Oh how I miss those days !!!
Do they still park on the sides of the road anywhere and anytime ??

Oh dear lord!

Went to Mtn High yesterday and leaving that lot took 2.5 hours and then another hour getting to I-15. Otherwise it was a fun day, they were blowing snow and then around noon it began snowing, conditions were pretty good for the hill all things considered. My son had never seen it actually snow, so he was quite excited.

Yes, and all the elote you can stuff in your face lol

Snow play is the biggest cluster up here. I do NOT understand the folks who pull off the side of the main highway to let their kids slide down towards traffic! In our family, we love our children!

Last night was fantastic, although not a full blown nightpowder event. It was busy and lifts were extended 1/2 hour 'til 9pm, chairs 1 and 2.

While it was tempting to go up today with the fresh dump - but knowing SoCal drivers - I figured it's going to be a total mess. Just 2 weeks ago, I took me 2 hours to get down the front side, because there was construction - where they were alternating 20 cars through(uphill/downhill).

I'm sure if you are local to the area - and you don't have to deal with roads up to Big Bear, then this week should be an awesome time.

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

We are looking forward to getting out there on Tuesday! Local or not, we are staying home tomorrow.
