Spring break in Big Bear is one of the best times to enjoy the slopes. The sun shines brightly, layers start coming off, and the mountain vibe is pure California slush-riding perfection. For trip planners, organizing gear, passes, and schedules for the whole family can feel like a full-time job.
Since 1975, our team at Blauer Board Shop has helped families gear up for mountain adventures. We know what it takes to make spring break affordable, stress-free, and memorable. Use this guide for the best family deals and our top tips for spring riding with kids.
💸 Maximizing the "Kids Ski Free" Deals
Spring is the season of savings in the ski industry. Resorts want to keep the energy high as the season winds down, making it the perfect time for families to capitalize on promos.
- Mountain Lift Ticket Promos: Big Bear Mountain Resort often runs spring promotions, and kids 4 and under always ski free. Always check the resort website for late-season bundle deals or "Kids Ski Free" days when purchasing an adult ticket.
- The Blauer Family Advantage: Instead of paying premium resort prices for gear, rent locally with us. Blauer Board Shop offers affordable family and group rental packages. Pair a discounted lift ticket with our off-mountain rental rates for an easy spring break planning solution.
🏂 Why Rent With Blauer Board Shop?
We understand the goal is to get on the snow, not wait in a rental line while the kids get antsy. Here’s why renting from us on Big Bear Blvd is a smart choice:
- Skip the Resort Chaos: Grab your gear right here in town. You can even request an early pickup the night before your rental starts (by 6 PM) so you can head straight to the lifts in the morning.
- Expert Fitting: Our founders opened Blauer Board Shop decades ago, and since then, we’ve helped over 500,000 renters. Our team takes time to ensure your kids get properly fitted boots, preventing discomfort on the hill.
- Easy Cancellations: Kids get sick and weather changes. We offer full refunds for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance.
☀️ Top Tips for Spring Skiing with Kids
Spring conditions are fun but different than mid-winter. Follow these key tips:
- Protect kids and yourself with high-SPF sunscreen and UV goggles or sunglasses. Forgot yours? We have a massive wall of options in the shop!
- Dress in moisture-wicking layers and a water-resistant shell. Avoid bulky parkas and be ready to adjust as temperatures rise.
- Get to the lifts early for smooth snow, as conditions get slushy in the afternoon. Plan a late lunch when the snow softens.
- Don’t forget to stay hydrated—pack water bottles for the day, as spring sun and altitude can sneak up on you.
