As long as Snow Summit claims to have 2 feet of snow (manmade included), skiing is acceptable. More is, of course, better. I've skied at Big Bear since 198x and I have no idea what "average" means here :-( http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliRECtM.pl?cabibe gives average annual December snowfall as 8.9 inches and 14.3 inches in January, but most of what you'll be skiing on is man-made and groomed as quickly as possible. Webcams here sometimes: http://www.snowsummit.com/cams.php This guy collects lots of SoCal info: http://www.skisocal.org/ 2) Provide tips on where to look for a rental house (we have ~10 people who would like to rent a house on 12/30/05 - 1/2/06 No info -- I've always done day trips, but maybe this will help: http://www.bigbear.com/ Expect it to be crowded, and be prepared to pay top dollar. I once went up on Jan 1 figuring that everybody else would be watching the Rose Parade and football game. Wrong. I was also wrong about MLK Day and Teachers' Conference Day (no school for any kid in at least two SoCal counties). All holidays suck. -- Cheers, Bev Subscribe today to "Fire in the Hole - the Quarterly Journal for Incinerator Toilet Enthusiasts" -- Andrew |

Never been to Big Bear, but I've found that the good skiing on New Year's Day in the Northeast is best in the EARLY morning - before everyone who had too much to drink and/or stayed up too late the night before gets up. Janet p.s. Just don't aks HOW I manage to get up early on new years day - sometimes I'm not sure myself |
