Here’s where to enjoy the snow over Thanksgiving weekend

Snow enthusiasts can kick off the winter season over Thanksgiving weekend by hitting the slopes for skiing, tubing and snowboarding. Only two Southern California snow spots have opened for the season, but they are inviting the public to don snow gear and breathe in that fresh mountain air. Highway 38, a key link to Big Bear is closed for repairs after an intense storm wiped out the road in September. But three other routes are available to reach Big Bear Lake: Highway 330 (through Highland), Highway 18 (through San Bernardino and Crestline) and Highway 18 (through the Lucerne Valley). Big Bear Snow Play Big Bear Snow Play is open after recent storms brought fresh snowfall enough to run three full-length snow tubing runs for the Thanksgiving weekend. “The timing is perfect for those looking for something to do this Thanksgiving,” Big Bear Snow Play Director of Operations Scott Voigt said in a Monday, Nov. 24, news release. Tubing is open daily from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. At night, glow tubing starts Friday, Nov. 28, and is from 5 p. m. to 9 p. m. every Friday, Saturday and holiday nights. Big Bear Snow Play is at 42825 Big Bear Blvd, in Big Bear Lake. For information, call 909-585-0075 or click here. Big Bear Mountain Resort Big Bear Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake has not yet opened for the season and does not know when it will be welcoming guests, resort spokesperson Justin Kanton said in a Wednesday, Nov. 26, email. The resort which includes Snow Summit, Bear Mountain and Snow Valley hopes to know more in the next week, he wrote. Mountain High Resorts Though the Big Bear-area resorts aren’t expected to be open this weekend, Mountain High Resorts in Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains is already doing business. The resort reported 12-16 inches of snow, with a total of 14 inches of snow expected over a seven-day period for this week. Two lifts and five trails will be open over Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday, Nov. 29, DJ William Reed will be spinning at the resort from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. Reed is rooted in Germany’s underground scene, and has residencies at The Standard, Ace Hotel, W Hotel and Skybar in Los Angeles. He has performed with Calvin Harris, Steve Aoki, Kaskade, Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon. Mountain High opened Saturday, Nov. 22, with about 2, 000 people, making for its best opening weekend in a decade, a news release states. The resort is the second to open this season in California and was just behind Mammoth Mountain. Mountain High’s Thanksgiving weekend hours are 8: 30 a. m. to 10 p. m. Friday, Nov. 28, through Sunday, Nov. 30.
