This live stream follows the Midway Chair 5 lift on Bear Mountain, overlooking Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. It is useful for seeing how the slopes and lake look right now, and whether snow or cloud is building over the ridge.
Big Bear Lake is a mountain resort town about 2,285 metres above sea level in Southern California. The reservoir sits in a valley ringed by pine forest and ski runs, and it has long been a getaway for people from Los Angeles and San Diego. The area is known for winter skiing and snowboarding, summer boating and hiking, and a relaxed mountain atmosphere that feels far from the coast.
The title points to a chairlift on Bear Mountain, so the view is likely centred on the lift line, the runs beneath it and the lake beyond. Views change a lot with the season: in winter you may see snow cover and skiers, while in summer the slopes are greener and the water more visible. Mornings often bring clear air, and afternoon clouds can roll in quickly at this altitude.
Winters are cold and snowy, with the most reliable snow from December to March, while late spring and early autumn are mild and quieter. The drive from the Los Angeles area takes a few hours, and chains may be required on mountain roads in winter. Other cameras nearby include Bear Peak, Goldmine Mountain, and the Snow Summit slopes at Miracle Mile and the Beginner Area, all within about 3 km.
