Due to the ongoing Line Fire, the US Forest Service has closed the San Bernardino National Forest, which means operations at Snow Valley, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain Golf Course are suspended until further notice. At this time, SR-330/18 and SR-38 are closed to the public, and local authorities are advising people to avoid traveling to the area until fire crews can contain the blaze and air quality improves. For information about the Line Fire, please call CalFire directly at 909.220.4292.

We want to reassure everyone that our three properties - Snow Valley, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain - have remained untouched by the fire.

The Big Bear Mountain Resort call center is now closed. All guests with pre-purchased summer reservations have been contacted and refunded. The call center service line, 844.GO2.BEAR, is currently offline. Evacuation warnings are in effect for the area. We kindly ask that you do not make any calls to the call center at this time. 23/24 Dual Season Passes, 2024 Bike Park Season Passes, Quad Packs, and 2024 Golf Season Passes are no longer valid for the season.

Current Situation Summary from CalFire

Read full details last reported at 6:48AM.

The Line Fire was less active overnight due to high moisture levels in the air. However, the fire does continue to smolder and creep in the dry vegetation and there are occasional runs in slopes and drainages. The weekend will bring continued cooler temperatures which will help moderate fire activity and bring moisture levels up the vegetation.

There are currently 65,100 structures threatened, including 11,400 under Evacuation Orders and 53,700 under Evacuation Warnings. Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) are working in the fire area. So far, they have identified 3 structures that were damaged and 1 that was destroyed. Their inspections include residences, multi-family dwellings, outbuildings, and commercial buildings.
