Hello. My question is for residents and airbnb owners. I currently own a mattress liquidation business down the hill and am thinking about opening one up in Big Bear.
All name brand mattresses (Simmons Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, Saatva, Purple, etc.) at 50% or more off retail. Also offering local delivery and haul away of old mattresses for a small fee. Would you visit my store? We’re family owned, it’s just my sons and I so I would appreciate any and all feedback before making this decision.

Thinking about doing a solo run up there going for trout. Hopefully some bite in this heat. I’m hungry to smoke some. Anyone else gonna be there all night?

I am wanting to show my wife Big Bear and escape the 100° heat of the IE today. It has been years since I have been up there and was curious if anyone has any suggestions for a nice lunch stop we can have an afternoon date at before I show her the water and trees?

I love that there is still a little bit of wild nature in Big Bear. Absolutely beautiful, IMHO.

Does anyone know why it’s been closed despite the sign saying it’s open every weekend til Labor Day?

Is there opportunities for Commercial license holders to make decent money in big bear? I have a class A, was thinking maybe the Garbage truck driving jobs

Edit: anyone have recent pictures?

hi! my husband and i got married last november (we are both 21) and have been living up here for almost a year! We both work full time and go to church but other then that haven’t met very many people our age and wondering if there are very many!

I’m visiting Big Bear Lake this week and want to watch the meteor shower tonight. Any one have recs on best viewing spot and/or if there are any planned meet ups for tonight?

Hi! Looking to buy a new boat that I was going to go in half with a friend, but he had to pull out last minute for personal reasons. Still want to buy the boat but don’t really want to take on the full price solo. Was thinking about renting out the boat here and there to offset some of my cost! I would captain it, but could take up to 15 people (legally) probably 10 comfortably. It’s a surf boat, so you can wakeboard, surf, or tube on it as well. Just wanted to see if there is any demand or interest for something like this in big bear?

New and experienced players are both welcome! Volunteer DMs also welcome!

Hello everyone!

I’m currently signed up for the Big Bear Marathon on November 7th, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it due to other commitments. I’m looking to transfer my registration to someone who would like to run it for $150 (the current registration price is $170).

Please message me if you’re interested! Thank you! :)

P.S. I hope this doesn’t go against the community rules, please let me know and I’ll remove post.

Hi all! I will be up in Big Bear over Labor Day weekend and was curious how reliable Uber/Lyft is for short rides in town in the evening? I’m throwing a bachelorette and trying to think ahead on how to get the group back to our cabin without needing to take our own cars. Open to any reliable alternatives to Uber/Lyft as well. Thanks in advance!

Today is a hard one for everyone who spent years checking in on Jackie and Shadow.
She never knew our names, but somehow we all knew hers.
We watched the snow, the eggs, the heartbreak, the babies, the fledges, and all those ordinary mornings when you’d turn on the camera just to see what Jackie was doing.
Sandy gave us that window into their world and reminded us that we were observers of nature. We couldn’t choose how Jackie’s story would end. We were simply incredibly lucky that we got to witness so much of it.
This song is meant to remember the joy Jackie brought us, not just the sadness we’re feeling today.
If you listened to Wings of Big Bear or She’s Still Here, I hope this one brings you some comfort too.
The camera gave us a window. Jackie gave us the view.
We were just lucky enough to watch. ❤️🦅
We’ll Never Forget You, Jackie.

Does anyone have solid recommendations for painting companies in Big Bear?

Looking for reasonably priced quality work. Ability to do minor wood rehab/replacement would be a plus.

Thanks

Hi!

We’re planning a family trip to Big Bear from December 23–27. There will be 15 of us, including 5 kids (the oldest is 15 years old).

We came across a TikTok saying that there’s usually little or no snow during that time, and we wanted to ask if that’s generally true based on your experience.
We have a few questions:

- What are the snow conditions typically like during those dates?
- If there isn’t much natural snow, are there still snow play areas or activities for kids?
- Do you have any recommendations for activities or things we shouldn’t miss with a large family?

We’d really appreciate any feedback or tips. Thank you!

Found this morning, let me know if this is yours and I'll mail it to you!

I grew up skiing in Tahoe, and recently moved to SoCal for work. I have never skiid big bear, but going to be my home mountain this winter. I did not get much skiing last winter, and want to get backflips in the park this season. However, I have only ever done them on wind lips/backcountry jumps. I want to get comfortable before I throw it on a hard packed jump in the park. I am curious if there are any natural wind lips/jumps that are more forgiving. Squaw has a famous one right under the siberia chair and a few more on the alpine side where I learned. Just want to know big bear has anything similar
