Affordable winter getaway

   An affordable alternative for a winter getaway is at Big Bear Lake with Midweek Lift and Lodging Packages starting as low as $69 per person, per night, with double occupancy. Skiers and snowboard riders play on the slopes all day at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, and relax all night in the comforts of a cozy cabin or lodge.

   “Our midweek packages are the best way to save money this winter!” said Big Bear Lake Resort Association CEO Ken Brengle.  “Most importantly Big Bear is in close proximity to LA, San Diego and Las Vegas, which means people don’t need to dig deep into their wallets for airfare.”

   During these economic times it makes sense to plan for a winter vacation within a reasonable driving distance, rather than paying outrageous prices on airfare to a faraway destination. Big Bear Lake, Southern California's premier ski and snowboard destination, is an easy two-hour drive from most Southland cities and only three hours from Las Vegas. Big Bear has quality snow and is a close by and affordable alternative to places like Mammoth, Utah or Tahoe. 

   “The objective this winter season is to give our customers an opportunity to save money during this economic crunch,” added Brengle. “It makes more sense for people living in Southern California to stay close to home for their snow fix.” 

   Midweek Lift and Lodging packages include discounted lodging at one of Big Bear’s participating lodges and discounted, all-day, lift tickets good for either or both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Lift tickets do include complimentary shuttle service between both resorts. Packages are good for lodging arrivals Sunday through Thursday and skiing or snowboarding Monday through Friday. These offers are not valid on weekends, during holiday periods or with any other discount.  For more details about these great midweek packages, log onto www.bigbear.com or call 1-800-424-4232.
