Check out our guide to late season ski-related activities (March-April 2026) – both on the mountain and off.
Late-season skiing in Big Bear is one of the best times to visit the mountains. By March and early April, the days are longer, the weather is milder, and the slopes often see some of the most enjoyable conditions of the season.
It’s also when the calendar at Big Bear Mountain Resort becomes especially lively. Spring events bring freestyle competitions, night-riding sessions, and family-friendly activities that give the mountain a different energy than in the middle of winter.
Many visitors plan their trips around these events, combining time on the slopes with the unique atmosphere that comes with spring skiing weekends. Staying nearby makes it much easier to catch the action during the day and head back to relax afterward.

Many visitors travel to Big Bear specifically for this event. The combination of strong terrain park riding, spring conditions, and the energetic atmosphere makes it one of the most anticipated weekends of the late ski season.
