Operations at Bear Mountain have truly been a day-by-day decision as we navigate early-season conditions. With limited terrain comes limited lift tickets, and we did sell out of day lift tickets yesterday. Be sure to purchase yours online in advance so you don’t miss out. Pass holders do not need to make a reservation.Bear Mountain will operate Chair 5, 7, and 9 on Monday from 8:30AM-4PM.Winter may be taking the scenic route this season, but we’re finally seeing colder evening temperatures, which means our snowmaking team is back in action. While Mother Nature hasn’t exactly been generous so far, our crew has been working hard to make winter happen whenever conditions allow. We’ve added new photos taken Saturday, December 27 around 6:30AM, now live on the homepage of our website. You can also check out our live webcams to see the noticeable progress the slopes made in just one night of snowmaking.Looking ahead, daytime temperatures are expected to stay in the low 40s over the next few days, with nighttime lows dipping into the low 20s. Another system is on the radar for New Year’s Eve. At the moment, it’s trending toward rain, but forecasts can change as we get closer. Stay tuned and check back often. This is the best place for real-time Bear Mountain updates.
