Actually, Big Bear is just a piece of Vermont that was transplanted onto the
top of a 9000 ft. flat plateau, so the natives wouldn't know they'd been moved.

It's about 90 miles inland from downtown Los Angeles, and it's a beautiful
place. [... deletia ...]

In short: Fly/drive into L.A. Find downtown L.A. Find the 10 Freeway (or
the "Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway", if you prefer) in downtown
L.A. Get on it heading East for an hour until you hit San Bernardino. Take
the 215 North a short ways until you see Route 18 pointing towards Lake
Arrowhead and Big Bear. Take Route 18 North into the San Bernardino mountains
for about 45 minutes or so, and eventually you'll reach Big Bear.
