🎿Ikon Pass Early Bird Pricing Ends TONIGHT - Big Bear Ends This Weekend

This is your final lap, folks. Passes go up tomorrow, and Big Bear’s saying bye-bye

🚨 Last Call for Legends: Ikon Pass Ends TONIGHT & Big Bear’s Season Finale 🎟️🏔️

Real talk: If you miss today, you’ll pay more and ski less next year. Don’t be that skier. 😬

It’s April 17, and two big things are happening:

  1. Big Bear’s season is wrapping up THIS weekend—final laps, final beers, final parking lot tailgates. 🏁

  2. The lowest price for the 2025–2026 Ikon Pass ends TONIGHT at midnight. You snooze, you shred less.

Let’s unpack this like we’re pulling gear out of the roof box after a long drive up the 330.

💥 Why TODAY Is Skier Do-or-Die Day

  • Ikon Pass Early Bird Perks

    • 💸 Lowest price of the season

    • 🎁 Zero-interest payment plan

    • 🎿 Spring skiing access at Mammoth (yup, you ski now, not just later)

    • 🏆 Renewal discounts if you’re a returning passholder

  • Ikon = More Than Just SoCal

    • Mammoth, Big Bear, Snow Summit, Palisades, Aspen, Jackson Hole—your winter 2026 bucket list starts today.

And honestly, future you is gonna wish you’d bought it today when prices go up tomorrow.

🎉 Big Bear’s Grand Finale: What You Need to Know

Snow Summit and Snow Valley? Already pulled the plug. 🥀
Mountain High? Toast. 🔥
But Big Bear’s still holding the line for ONE MORE WEEKEND of slushy goodness. Here’s the skinny:

  • Lifts still spinning: Chair 9, Chair 7, and some park terrain still open (subject to melt-outs 🙃)

  • Weekend vibes: DJ at the base. Spring skiing in tank tops. Retro ski outfits encouraged.

  • Forecast: Sunny with highs in the 50s. Slush cup-worthy. ☀️🍧

Want to bring the family? Do it. Want to lap solo and sip a beer mid-run? Also yes.

🧠 Sasha’s Sage Advice

Every season has its goodbye. Big Bear’s is warm, weird, and absolutely worth it.

Bring:

  • Spring waxed skis (slush is clingy)

  • A change of socks (you’ll get wet)

  • A camera for that last lift selfie (you’ll want the memory)

I’ll be there Saturday with Quinn. She’s planning a ski-down dance routine to Taylor Swift. You’ve been warned. 😂🎤

What Happens If You Wait?

  • You’ll pay more for the Ikon Pass.

  • You’ll miss Big Bear’s slush party.

  • You’ll spend summer wishing you had one more ski day.

Wrap-Up Wisdom:

"Buy the pass. Make the trip. Chase the snow. No regrets."
