this site says bear opened 11/9/11.

and mt high says: says 10/28/11.

but if memory serves me right Mt high closed due to rain melting the base they built up. their press releases show a new post titled "opening day coming soon" after that 10/28 post. they eventually opened for the season on 11/5: http://www.mthigh.com/press-release/mountain-high-opens-first-southern-california-15th-straight-year

a difference of 4 days is negligible imo, but technically mt high does open sooner than bear by a few days each year. (early to mid november). for a better base and more terrain its best to wait for late november. last season bear only had 1 lift worth riding and it was packed on early season snow. but that might also be because last season everyone had a lack of snow as well.

Fap, maybe you should check your sources. Bear mountain site shows they opened on 11/10/11.   http://www.bearmountain.com/snowboard/2011/11/10/bear-is-open-for-winter-2011-12/

been riding at mt high/bear/mammoth for the past 7 seasons... mt high says they open earlier than bear all the time but in reality... they only opened a beginners section with few jibs and say that they are open!! lol anyways, bear usually follows mt high and open week later or about a day later, IT ALWAYS DEPEND ON THE WEATHER!!! but Mammoth seem to open(still with weather permitting) on the 1st thursday of November, every year! they seem to target that day.  but I've seen mt high/bear/mammoth open around Halloween(if the weather permits).  so let's pray to snowgod and hopefully he'll let it snow early since the summer is hot as fuck kkk

Sweet!! Time to start contemplating about a pass...
Now that June closed, I don't know what I'm going to do.
I know I will miss June...
Although I now have a favorite touring spot

^ They can post opening dates because of man made snow. Pretty much all the resorts here know when they are gonna open regardless of what mother nature does. The 2 exceptions that I know of are Loveland and A basin since they usually shoot for early-mid october depending on when it gets cold enough to make snow

bump

does anyone know when all the big diamond trails are going to be open.

i went to mt high last year and obviously the 2nd part wasn't open the grand view bistro wasn't open.

does anyone know when they do? i was stuck riding chisolm and crest trail to the inferno ridge and that got boring quick all the way down to park and little mounds. no fun

also for mt bear wondering when those blacks opens also.

i'm not a fan of park yet sorry i haven't progressed that far so just wondering if anyone knew when they actually will open it or just depends on the weather.

i heard mammoth opened early this year. doesn't look all that great. a few spots here and there. my friend, not sure how the conditions are there but just from pics it didn't look like much.

anyone travel to bear and summit yet?? how are the conditions!

Haven't been to bear this year yet, but from past early season trips i'm sure its icy in the morning, soft by about 10 or 11. Don't go unless your a park rat who likes jibbing. it's not worth your time until more of the mountain opens up.
