Bear Mountain Ski Area, Big Bear, California

Jan 13, 2016

Enjoyed the day at Bear Mountain (A.K.A. Goldmine). I haven’t been here since college when my roommate Robert Sharpton’s Mom had a place right near the lifts.  Bear Mountain’s expert runs are really expert runs.

The place really caters to terrain park enthusiasts – which I am not.
