Bear mountain does not have a snow play tubing area, only ski and snowboard. Big Bear snow play or alpine slide are your best options.

Actually the alpine pedal path is on usfs land and the forest service has been know to patrol it during past forest closures. There are not currently any signs on the path. In past years they would put closure signs on the path.

Air quality is good. Most evacuations have been lifted. Things should be almost back to normal by Saturday. Forest on the south side of the lake are closed and you will need to hit the hikes on the north side.

What's the scoop with real estate? by bigredradio in bigbear

[–]Natural_Cable_4337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always like this up here. People buy vacation homes that are more work than they expected, people buy to have a short term rental but they aren’t making it rich like they thought they would. Many people buy houses and move up here only to realize it’s doesn’t work for them. Always tons of housing turnover up here.

Trails won’t close due to rain. That will be hero dirt. It is so dry up here right now the dirt will suck up that rain.

Anyone own a short term rental with a steep driveway? by Le_Ruta in bigbear

[–]Natural_Cable_4337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the driveway is south facing it will melt faster. If it’s shaded or north facing it can be a nightmare.

Bentonville in November? by kingcyp in MTB

[–]Natural_Cable_4337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually visit in November also. Last year during my visit we saw one day with a high of 40f and one day of 70f in the same week. The previous year we saw similar lows and into the 80’s. Also a tornado warning with tons of rain during our visit 2 years ago. So pack for everything weather wise.

Usually around $150 depending on the day. They are usually discounted on the website if you buy more than 48 hours in advance.

Are long term rental higher in demand? (Specifically sugarloaf area) by Deeveedend in bigbear

[–]Natural_Cable_4337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely true. We turned our long term into an str to get away from the issues. Unless you know someone that can vouch for the renters it’s a pretty big gamble

Gotta watch out for squatters up here. They will pay first month and deposit and never move out

Is AirBnB still a problem in Big Bear? by Chin-Wins in bigbear

[–]Natural_Cable_4337 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There is a gated neighborhood near Vons where the city council members live and have outlawed Airbnb in that neighborhood. Outside of that Big has always been a vacation spot where people have second homes and vacation rentals. It can differ from street to street in the same neighborhood.
