WINTER PARKING
SKIING, SNOWBOARDING, & SNOW TUBING
Between the months of November - April, on an average peak period/holiday morning, we expect to park several thousand cars so delays may be expected. We recommend giving yourself at least 90 minutes from any point in Big Bear Valley to drive, park, and be shuttled to the resort of your choice. Overnight parking is prohibited in all parking areas. Violators will be towed or ticketed for obstructing snow removal.
Big Bear Mountain Resort does not have any electric car charging stations at this time.
BEFORE YOU PARK: All guests must have a valid lift ticket or season pass to receive gated entry access to the Bear Mountain or Snow Summit base areas this winter. At this time, advance reservations are not required at BBMR, but anyone attempting to access the base areas without a valid lift ticket or season pass will be denied entry. Guests must also wear face coverings in all public spaces and should practice social distancing at all times during their visit.
