This winter's been frustrating for any snowboarder or skier looking for fresh powder in the Big Bear region. Luckily for them, that trend seems to be coming to an end.

Over the weekend and into Monday, the area was hit by a storm that left seven to 10 inches of snow at the Mountain High ski resort near Wrightwood. Snow Valley ski resort, meanwhile, reported 10 to 12 inches of snowfall, while Bear Mountain and Snow Summit both reported six inches. (They're supplementing the snowfall with their own snow-making machines as well.) And this recent snowfall may be only the beginning.

The storm system that landed is supposed to remain in the region over the next few weeks, with snow showers starting this Saturday through next Wednesday, at least. Will this be the big snowfall that we've all been waiting for? It's too early to know just yet, but better take those boards and skis out of the closet, just in case. And make sure to check local conditions before making the trek, as well as local advisories regarding the use of chains on your tires.
