The locals spot isn't so local anymore I'm afraid. And it fills up an hour before they open (weekends). You can't miss it as you drive up. Use the force!

@@mrmnztr I’d recommend waiting until we get a little bit more snow and after the Christmas/New Year’s crowd, taper off. Definitely low tide around here and massive crowds.

The early season runs can get even more congested, believe it or not. This was a fairly open run and the snow was in tip top condition. We receive much more natural snow towards late January and all of February. Looking forward to the new year! Thank you for watching, cheers!

Just like last year...we didn't get any snow falling until the first week of January. I think this year is following suit. Thanks for commenting and check back for more videos soon!

Yes, it's a mountain, at least it's what we call a mountain. It's in Southern CA. Big Bear Lake. There is about 1200 vertical feet from top to bottom.

The bears are shy, especially when there is humans on their mountain 😊

Thank you! I'm a busy boy with my career and not too much time for playing with RUclips these days. But my audience seems to favor the winter/lake related videos I publish, so it's go time again, baby! 🏃‍♂

Opps haha!

@@jeffrey8422 looking forward to spending time with the family, see you up there!

I’ve heard that a lot

@@williambarry8015 thank you. 🙏 I truly believe the firefighters will get the upper hand on the fire today with the cooler temperatures, marine layer, and decreased winds. Also the train that it is approaching is flatter and easily accessed areas via fire roads ❤️

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you’re safe. I would imagine the northshore/Fawnskin area would be next to be evacuated, given it is further west in the valley. Waiting on a morning report.

🙏🙏🙏

@@1Mrstephen we have evacuated. The zone right next to where we lived was evacuated on the west side of big bear, it was time to go. I know many other people all over the valley have been leaving throughout the day and early evening. The progress the fire is making is, frightening. I’ve heard the snow summit. WebCams are showing flames in the distance. There are great sources for fire updates all over social media, follow the big bear Facebook page and that’s been my best source of information so far.

@@bb-fe9ur very unfortunately 😢

@@mountaingoat8788 2003 seemed like so long ago, we were much more freaked out versus today. Hoping for the best. So sad to know it’s coming close to Bluff Lake area…

@@jolenecreech7648 the mountain communities need all the prayers they can get, thank you so much. I am frightened for running Springs as well. They’re actually dropping fire retardant on the entire downtown area, I saw some photos where the streets and buildings are coated in red.

@@Gigi22666 thank you thank you. I’m worried for big bear, but I know all the residents will be able to get out. The evacuation in the mountain communities are not taken lightly and they actually have the power shut off starting about 45 minutes ago for at least 12 hours to prevent any issues with downed powerlines with these Highwinds that are expected.

Hope we get more days like this in winter 2024-25!

Thank you. The area is so fun. I recommend going when it is still lush, closer to early July than later. We had to cancel and change locations this July due to a fire in the area that closed the main road 😢

@@zman6288 hello thanks for watching the video! As of summer 2024, the information on the MWD website states that a season permit for a non-registered vessel such as a paddleboard or kayak, is $60, or if you’re just needing a one day permit it is $25. Your board or kayak is subject to inspection to make sure there’s no quagga muscles. 👍

@DanielMorello that's not to bad thanks for responding 🤙

This was last year on Memorial Day 🎇

Sounds like a big job! If you get it done, it’s worth it. Fiberglass repair is definitely a little bit more tricky in terms of restoration process.

Great guess! Thank you for watching!

Gosh, that’s a great question! I haven’t been able to speak with anyone who seems to know what the varieties are. The cost of trees I was at our a good example of what’s up here mostly, some very granny Smith style, others that are more yellow and mostly ones that are small and red.

It was a great time! I don’t think so, I would bank on going back there now, and only finding a trickle 😢

Awesome!! 🤩

Wow! So awesome to hear all those wonderful things you have to say and it really really means a lot! Tapping into that feeling of community is something that might be hard to do in a large city but is all but natural in a collective like big bear! Wow, it’s already been 10 years, that’s crazy how time flies so fast! In 2014. I think the lake was generally only down, a little bit from where it is now, it wasn’t until a year or two later that the levels fluctuated more. Wish you well and hope you’re doing great!🫶

@@DanielMorello Well on the scheme of things, this feels to me like 'Big big bear'...the main difference is the redness of the state...but there are still people here who do community things and to me it feels small...way way smaller than the valley or especially LA, but bigger than big bear...however, I feel like the area in its beauty is comparable, just on a bigger scale...bigger mountains and bigger lakes...but I love it here... Have you ever been to CDA? If not, you should visit, you would love it. So much to hike, bike, fish, drive, kayak, boat, fly, ski etc and see...only 2hrs from the Canadian border. You guys should come some day...Syd can fly you guys here :) I wish you well also, both of you...and you let me know if you ever decide to come to town, well eat, boat or who knows, lots to do here. 💚

Thanks for checking out the video, glad you liked it! It is so relieving to see the lake this fall, let’s hope it stays that way for at least a little while 🤞

Thank you, Sandy! 😁

So nice for u to say that 🫡🙌

Thank you, thank you! 😀

Definitely will do 🤙, thanks for watching!

If you are referring to the permit needed for taking a SUP on Big Bear Lake, yes, need a day use or seasonal permit

Lovely, I’m really stoked you let me know. Usually be going to the festival but I got to miss it this spring, but hopefully check it out in October again! Much love!

Much appreciated! I’ll be dropping another video this week, make sure you check it out! 👍😊

@@DanielMorello I can't wait for it

We just went up another 4 inches which is great, running a little short of my prediction for this week, but now that the temperatures are gonna stay pretty solid, it should keep on flowing!

Haha!! Yup! BOoM! 💥

Thank you for that, buddy! I'll be back to Boulder Bay for sure. 👍

Thanks, Pa!!

Appreciate that, maybe just one more good/average season will do it!

At 5:43

SNAAAAAAKE!! Wow I perhaps didn’t notice that I remember seeing a couple of chipmunks - across from the beginning. We just found a cool 3 foot gopher snake down in the high desert last week. I’ll have to look through the video and see see if I can spot it!

That would’ve been great to get out on a ride, it’s one of my favorite seasons to be brapping on the trails

I have, in fact, never tried gold panning, that’s something to add to the list, though, would be the year for it with all the creeks running so good

😸😻

Great question, it actually links up with the creek that flows parallel down with Highway 18, on the west side at first and then crossing underneath a little ways down, it’s flowing good right now just like it was last year, a rare site though in the last 20 or so that I’ve seen
