Everything You Need to Know for Closing Day
Snow & Weather Conditions
March is a comfortable late-winter transitioning into spring month for Bear Mountain, located in Big Bear Lake within the San Bernardino Mountains. The forecast this week is calling for sunny skies. The daytime temps will be in the mid-to-high 70s creating an alpine welcome to spring snow conditions. With the sun rays and softer snow, make sure to dress for the occasion by wearing breathable clothing layers, packing sunblock, and staying extra hydrated.
Safety Tips
Hydrate Often
Dehydration occurs quicker at high altitude, so drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine when visiting the mountains.
Wear Protected Eyewear
It is important to use proper UV protection for your eyes. The surface of the dirt or water can act as a reflector of UV rays and can generate a great deal of UV exposure to the eyes. Equip yourself and your children with UV sunglasses or goggles. Failure to wear proper eye protection can result in an actual burn of the eye’s surface—a painful condition requiring medical treatment.
UV Index & Avoiding Sun Burns
The average daily maximum UV index in April is 5. A UV Index of 3 to 5 symbolizes a medium health hazard from unsafe exposure. During high-exposure activities such as spring skiing, those with fair skin may experience sunburn after only two hours of sun exposure, even after applying maximum sunscreen protection.
