We've now entered the winter portion of winter, which sounds like an unusual assertion to make.
And yet? The first 10 or so days of the season are very much about the holidays, and all of the celebratory accoutrements that the festive stretch delivers.
Once January arrives, however, we can dig into the bundle-up beauty of the coolest time of year, and the snowily singular pleasures that are synonymous with winter.

At Big Bear Snow Play, those pleasures are rollicking and recreational, with snow tubing serving as a centerpiece to the mountain-based destination's calendar.
But it isn't just about the daytime tubing at the slopeful spots: Nighttime tubing, in the form of Glow Tubing, also wins over frosty fans in the wintertime.
The starlit experiences are happening each Friday and Saturday through through Easter — that's April 20, 2025 — and holidays, too. And for the aforementioned holidays, something special is afoot: Glow Tubing is happening each night through Jan. 11 from 5 to 9 o'clock.
