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

🎉 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."
