Weather And Conditions
Forecasts calling for sunny skies with day temps in the low 50s for Snow Valley's opening day. Sign up for our snow alert emails to get notifications delivered to your inbox when the flakes start to fall.
Road Conditions
SR-330 has reopened after months of repairs from the damage caused by the Line Fire. Please drive cautiously, as loose debris from the hillside could create obstacles on the road. The soil remains unstable due to the burn, and with rain and snow expected this winter, driving conditions on SR-330 may feel different than what you're used to.
Regardless of the alpine route you take to get to Big Bear Mountain Resort destinations, stay safe and drive slowly.
