Random post- Big Bear Trip

 Living in Los Angeles, we don’t get to experience snowy mornings. The idea of waking up to two feet of snow is something we never see here. While LA winters are mild, sometimes my friends and I miss the feeling of a real winter. A few years ago, we started a tradition of going to Big Bear every year during the holidays. We rent a big cabin, gather all our friends, and enjoy the snow we don’t get in LA. It’s something we all look forward to. Before we head up there, besides splitting the cabin cost, everyone also chips in around $150 for food and drinks. We usually stop at a grocery store like Costco to buy a bunch of meat for BBQ, beer, liquor, and snacks. That way, we have everything we need and no one has to leave the cabin just because they’re hungry.

What makes this tradition even better is the time we spend together. The holidays are all about being close to the people you care about and being in the mountains with snow makes that even more special. We rarely even leave the cabin because we spend so much time finding the perfect one with a big backyard and a hot tub. Once we’re there, we just relax, drink, play music, and enjoy the snow. When we do head out, it’s usually to go snowboarding or just to take in the winter scenery, but most of the time, we’re just hanging out and making the most of our time together.

This tradition started when we were in high school. Some of my friends are older than me and some are the same age. We never found time for all of us to hang out because everyone was so busy with school and work. One of my cousins who is also part of our friend group randomly created a group chat one day and said he rented a cabin and we are all going. Since then, there has not been a year that we haven't gone with the same group of people. We have promised to continue this tradition even if we all get married one day.

    This is a really nice tradition that you guys have kept -- finding time to spend time with each other. It also sounds like a great escape from the hustle and bustle of LA! Surprisingly, being born and raised in LA, I have never visited Big Bear despite the fact that it is just an hour car ride away.

    Araz, my friends and I also take part in an annual trip but instead of Big Bear, we go to Palm Springs. Cool to see that groups keep their traditions through the years and I really think it makes the bond better.
