Ski Dazzle may have more to celebrate. Bear Mountain is trying to open for the weekend. Both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain started blowing snow last night around 9:00 PM. We visited both Resorts this morning and shot video of the overnight coverage. See video here; http://bigbearblogs.com/2009/10/28/big-bear-snow.html
