Fall Digital Summit & Sandy’s Mixer

Unified Winter Messaging

Dear Members & Partners,

 

This is a friendly reminder to register for the Visit Big Bear Fall Partner Digital Summit. It's very important to attend as we prepare for a unique winter ahead.

 

With Highway 38 closed all winter, our entire business community needs to be aligned on alternate route messaging. Together with Big Bear Mountain Resort, the City of Big Bear Lake, the Chamber, and all of you, our goal is to speak with one voice and one message to:

  • Mitigate traffic impacts on Highway 330
  • Encourage visitors to arrive early and stay late
  • Direct guests to use Highway 18 through Lucerne Valley for the best experience

 

Your participation is essential so that every front desk, call center, website, and social channel in the valley is sharing the same clear, helpful guidance with winter guests.
