Feeling Sleepy in the Big Bear area????


We at Gold Rush believe strongly in relaxation and taking a break from the fast pace life we live. Sometimes we need to get to our destination and just crash like our friend here


Give us a call and we'll make your crashing a little more comfortable than a tree stump, we were thinking something like this....










Take your pick :)

Skiing with your T-Shirt :)


I would safely call myself an avid skier (famous last words right?) and for the amount or lack of snowfall we have had, I am very surprised at how great the conditions are @ Snow Summit Ski Resort!!!

With all runs currently open there was no where I couldn't explore and venture. Lovely views from the chair as well.

ALSO:

We have increased our discount from 20% to 35% if you reserve any two nights from the 10th to the 15th of February for Valentines Day. Make the ladies happy with some skiing and possible snowfall, we must show them our love in the next couple days :) huh ladies

Snow falling :)

Finally some snow to make things interesting :) After being eaten by the eagerness of anticipation, the clouds squeezed out some frozen precipitation to dress our beautiful mountain with snowy whiteness. I don't know how much we'll get in total but I do know that I enjoy my NEW anticipation.....

Hot cocoa and skiing with the family!

Weather looks promising in the next couple days...

Here in Big Bear we have more snow than almost anywhere else right now!


Can you believe it?! Bear Mountain and Snow Summit have more snow than almost anywhere else right now with nearly 438 skiable acres and more than 55 full-width runs.

They had a great night of snowmaking to give us mostly machine groomed packed powder runs today! More snowmaking is expected tonight and will continue as long as conditions allow.

Families and beginners can enjoy the “Fun Zone” a great place to learn, filled with beginner terrain features and jibbing structures at the Snow Summit Ski Resort. Over at Bear Mountain they have meandering trails with 550 accessible undeveloped acres of natural terrain, and 3…that right 3 halfpipes available! You can start off on the beginner pipe, hop on the regular halfpipe, and then try the Superpipe for those real thrill seekers!

For the price of just one lift ticket, you can enjoy access to two full-service mountain resorts, with a free shuttle between them.

Come enojoy the beautiful scenery, the great food and stay with us at one of our luxurious cabin afterward. Cant wait to see you here. Check out our Special Deals here to see what money saving opportunities we have in store.

Snow is falling!





















Its been awhile, but....the SNOW is falling as we speak! I know the sun is shining but in our partly cloudy blue sky I do see flakes...tiny white flakes. They are getting bigger all the time and multiplying by the second! I do believe its time for me to dance in the falling snow...since there's not enough yet to make a snowball!

The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ~Doug Larson

Something for the Kids


Volcom’s 2012 Peanut Butter and Rail Jam is this Sunday January 12th at Bear Mountain

The Peanut Butter and Rail Jam is Volcom’s amateur snowboard contest series. The goal of the series is to give something back to the kids. Deviating from the established way snowboard contests are run, Volcom put thier heads together and came up with a fresh format. Instead of having three rails in a row, they put them side by side to create a rail zone. This boosts the energy level and fun nature of the contest because everyone is together, riding, hiking, and watching in a big group. There are four divisions; 15 & under, 16 & over, Girls and Open (pro-am). The contest runs in a jam format so there are no scheduled runs. You can hit each of the rails as many times as you want during your 20 minute heat. The judges only care about tricks you pull, so you don’t need to worry about falling. The event is absolutely free, on a first come first serve basis, and boasts tons of free prizes and PB&J sandwiches! Also, Everyone who enters walks away with a t-shirt and stickers!! See you on the hill!

Action Zipline Tours a GREAT way to see the mountains













Action Zipline Tours are the most exciting way to experience Big Bear year-round, weather permitting, so YES that means even in the winter! The three hour tour includes an offroad ride two miles into the forest in one of their safari jeeps, with nine high-speed zipline runs that run down our mountain for the most avid thrill-seekers, a beautiful suspension bridge with stunning views of Johnson Valley as a backdrop for it all, Action Zipline Tours is truly an adventure. The all-inclusive tour is outdoor recreation at it's best, and it's most exclusive.

So whether you’re planning a team-building retreat for a large group, or you’re looking for something new to try with your family, Action Zipline Tours are the perfect way to spend a day in the mountains. Then when your done come stay with us in one of our unique cabins for the night. Cant wait to start making plans with you soon. Click here to get started now!
