Winter Wonderland in Big Bear

---

Big Bear Lake. A 5.5 hour road trip from Phoenix seemed worth it to capture that snowy holiday feel that just seems to feel right this time of year. We were lucky enough to find some available time in the timeshare location just a mile from the lifts in Big Bear City. The large snow storm expected was a surprise we heard just a couple days prior to our drive out. Clear roads and sunshine escorted us up to lofty elevation of 7000 feet. Our first morning brought snow flakes and driving winds that nearly shut the small town down and gave us a good reason to stay inside the majority of the day sipping cocoa. Sunshine the next day lured us to the mountains at SUMMIT where we enjoyed a perfect day of light powder with zero wind...the views were amazing. The following days again brought sunshine and light dustings of snow in the middle of the night. Those of you visiting this area, don't miss the little Village on Pine Knot Drive and the small eatery by the name of the Sweet Basil Restaurant...the food is fantastic! Happy Holidays everyone!!

Hey!
Great hearing from you and knowing that you're still world travelers. We wish you a splendid Christmas and hope to see you again--you're such fun folks! Snow is good for playing in. It DOES get cold here in Texas, but we don't usually get the perk of snow, not in Austin. Keep in touch!
