Wk1: Big Bear Lake

I went snowboarding at Snow Valley and I figured that was something to write home about.  The mountain just got some fresh snow and because everyone thinks of Bear Mountain or Snow Summit for Southern California snowplay, Snow Valley is offering half off codes all over (billboards, radio spots, etc).  I paid $27 for a full day lift ticket.  Beautiful weather that, if it wasn't for the perfect slopes, could be called spring conditions, and the short lift lines made for a great day.  I think the most I waited in line was at mid-way, where the wait was for a free chair, not the person in front of you.  I will say that the back side of the mountain wasn't open (lack of customers), but I was never bored and some employees told me that it could open for the weekend.  I will be going back either way. 
On the way home I drove around Big Bear Lake and I must say, the postcard picture shows what the lake looked like.
