As for me, i would come in early in the morning, shred then head home.

I have to agree that some weekends can get crowded at Big Bear, especially after a fresh storm. However, I found that the even though there are a lot of people around, they are mainly by the beginner chairs. The more you migrate to the right side of the mountain (chairs 2, 5, etc), there are less people. I think for the most part with the warming temps and deteriorating conditions, the massive crowds are gone. The only people going up are beginners and addicts. The casual skiing/snowboarding crowds are gone. I am headed up this Sunday. The weather is supposed to cool down a bit so perhaps the slush wont be as bad. That being said, weekdays are the best time to go.
