My siblings and I really enjoyed our outing with Amber. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. She also did a great job communicating everything to us and that made it easier to prepare for.

Amber was very sweet and personable. We did a last minute booking for the snow experience and she was very accommodating. Would love to book a hike with her in the future when our toddlers are a bit older.

Amber was a great and friendly guide. Very responsive as well. She knows the area well and offered to take pictures of us along the way. The views were amazing. Highly recommend!

Amber was super friendly and knowledgeable. I went on a solo snow play/ hike to enjoy the weather and the beautiful big bear views. She took me to a really great spot away from the main tourist areas. I appreciated not having to deal with lingering holiday crowds and traffic! I was also suprised to even find a snowy spot, as much of it had already melted. Amber knew just the right areas! This is a great attraction for anyone and everyone looking for a tailored snow experience! Definitely bring your doggies too!

Book a hike with Amber!!! She knows literally all the very best spots and believe me, you really can't find these nice places on your own. It's so so worth it to have a guide to take you to the prettiest locations with the most snow! And she tells you all about big bear and the plants and animals and it's so much more immersive when you're with someone who knows! Book this! I promise you'll love it!
