When people sing the virtues of California, they often mention that you can go to the beach one day and go snow-skiing the next. While nearly the entire coastline of Southern California is beach, the places you can ski are harder to find. One of California's favorite ski areas is found high in the San Bernardino Mountains at Big Bear Lake.
If we're going to be naming the reasons that Big Bear Lake is a California favorite, though, we'd have to mention more than just the winter skiing. Ever since the reservoir was formed in 1884 by damming Bear Creek, it has become a mecca for outdoor entertainment. To do any justice to the area, you would also have to mention water-skiing, wake boarding, sailing, hiking, mountain biking, and many many more fun outdoor activities.
What makes Big Bear even better is that all of these great adventures are in a location central to the rest of the region. From nearly anywhere in Southern California it takes less than half a day to drive to Big Bear Lake. With such easy access to so much fun, it's a wonder there's anywhere to stay!
