This is a question that we get a lot here at the Big Bear Visitors Bureau, and it’s one that can be tough to answer. While we can give you an estimate of the average snowfall in Big Bear, it’s important to remember that the amount of snowfall can vary greatly from year to year.
In an average year, Big Bear sees about 60 inches of snowfall. However, we’ve seen years where we’ve gotten over 100 inches of snow, and other years where we’ve gotten as little as 20 inches. So, it really just depends on the weather!
If you’re planning a trip to Big Bear and want to make sure that there will be plenty of snow, the best time to come is typically between December and February. However, even if you come during one of those months, there’s no guarantee that there will be a lot of snow.
Of course, one of the best things about Big Bear is that even if there isn’t a lot of natural snowfall, we have a great snowmaking system that can create artificial snow. So, even if Mother Nature isn’t cooperating, you can still enjoy a great day on the slopes!
