The heart of December 2025 won’t exactly be hot in Southern California, but with temperatures moving into the middle 80s for several towns, we’ll call this later part of autumn a bit balmy.
This toastier temperature trajectory might mean that you and your family are in the mood for something a bit more brrrr-ful, an adventure that involves mittens and scarves and cozy knitwear.
Look to Big Bear Mountain Resort, one of the SoCal’s gotta-go-enjoy-the-snow spots, and look to the deal that’s happening through Dec. 12.
Kids Ski Free is the name of the happening, and little explanation is needed: If your child is 12 or younger, they’ll enjoy a complimentary day on the pretty slopes.
The lift ticket is the complimentary offer, and you will need to have proof that shows how old your tot is (so do pack identification).
Ski or snowboard rental and needed gear will be additional or be sure to arrive with your own.
Something rather nice? You won’t need to buy an adult ticket to enjoy this deal, but you will need to be there to supervise the frosty fun.
Both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are in the deal-tastic swing, so feel free to visit either destination. Do, though, get all the details before heading up to play in a chillier place, while Los Angeles basks in summer-style weather over a few December days.
