RS Vacations – Big Bear Lake, CA

Never been to Big Bear for Thanksgiving and wondering what to do? Here is a list of open Restaurants and featured Events courtesy of BigBear.com to help you out.

In addition to the listed events, I just thought I’d mention that we are expecting snow later this week and colder snowmaking temps after that, so it is POSSIBLE that Big Bear Ski Resorts could be opening for Thanksgiving! Stay Tuned!! Big Bear Snow Play is already open daily.

Haven’t booked a cabin yet? Not to worry! We still have a few cabins available for Thanksgiving in Big Bear and we have some great, last-minute deals! Visit us at RSVacations.net and book your Big Bear Cabin today!!
