I have been to Big Bear in the Winter (house rental).
I have been to Norden (Donner pass) in the Winter (house rental).
Never confuse two places like this, even though they are in the same state.
In Norden I had to shovel around the car twice a day. I piled the snow on top of the snow next to the car. Eventually I had to move my pile over so I could start a new pile. I can only toss snow about 8 to 10 feet high. For a 3 day storm that is not high enough.
Just as a guess, Norden can get more snow in a weekend than Big Bear will get in a season.
The newer homes in Norden are 6 inch exterior studs instead of the normal 2x4. This is to allow for additional insulation. Code requirements.
But both are nice places.
