The Best Transportation to Big Bear Mountain

LA County has two mountain resorts that are close by, Mount Baldy, on the front side of the range, can be easily accessed from the the town of Upland off the 210 Freeway. On the back side of the mountain range, there is Mountain High Ski Resort.

Southern California has a Wealth of Great Mountain Destinations!

A little further afield is the San Bernardino Mountain ranges and a pair of larger ski resorts that can get quite busy during a good ski season. Local ski enthusiasts will know I’m referring to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain Resort.

While this pair probably won’t find itself on any national top 10 ski resort lists, for locals, these two nearby attractions are well loved and well used. Proximity is big draw here, with some pretty decent skiing available (weather dependent of course) only two hours from LA.

The other winter reports are much further away in Northern California with Mammoth being about a 5 hour drive away and wonderful Lake Tahoe being about a 7 hour drive from Southern California.

Charter Transportation Can Take Your Excursion to the Next Level

If you plan on having a fun group excursion to one of these destinations, regardless of the time of year, it’s a good idea to look into booking charter transportation. That way you’re whole group can travel together, you have more time to socialize with your group, and the driving aspect of your trip is simply one less thing you have to worry about. Plus getting driven around by a chauffeur in private vehicle can be plenty of fun in itself.

When looking to charter a private bus or vehicle, a local limousine company would be a good resource to turn to as they are in the business of putting together custom trips all the time. Many limo companies have a wide range of different sized vehicles to accommodate different groups and plus they know how to deal with leisure trips and to put their passengers at ease.

Brilliant Transportation is one such executive transportation company that serves a variety of high end clients in Southern California. We serve a luxury market with unique vehicles and superior customer service. We can help get you to your vacation destination whether it’s just 2 people or 100. Our service include SUVs, passenger and luxury vans, as well as mini-coaches for larger groups.

Speaking of groups, one the first items you need to be able to plan on is the exact number of guest you plan to bring on your trip. That’s important because your headcount will determine the size and number of vehicles that you need to reserve.

Brilliant Has A Fantastic Fleet of Luxury Vehicles

For small groups of 6 or less, you could be quite comfortable in Brilliant’s fleet of Cadillac Escalades. These premium SUVs have bucket seating for six people and lots of luggage room. However, if you’re going skiing and bringing your own gear, that can get quite bulky with a full car, so it might be advisable to move up to larger vehicle size, which is our Sprinter vans.

The Sprinter van line, made by Mercedes Benz, is known the world over as being the finest vans available on the market, whether it’s for commercial or cargo transporting, or passenger trips. Brilliant has two kind of Sprinters available, the 14 seat, passenger van and the 7 passenger luxury van.

The 14 passenger van is a factory standard vehicle, and is very practical and comfortable for group transportation. One of the best features of the Sprinter vans is their available high roof option, which adds quite a bit of height to the vehicle and makes it possible to stand up inside! There is 6’3” worth of clearance inside. The passenger vans also offer very comfortable bench row seating with seat belts and headrests for 13 passengers and one extra person upfront with the driver. These practical vehicles come with cloth seating and and a rubber floor which makes them easy to clean. The 14 passenger also has a large space for luggage and with tall roof, putting in skis or snowboard presents no problems.

The Brilliant Van is the Ultimate in Luxury Transportation

Now for groups that would like a bit more exclusivity or luxury, your best option would be to choose one of our luxury vans. Known as the Brilliant Van, our luxury, custom converted Sprinter vans seat 7 passengers and they have an interior that is more like a private jet.

Beautiful leather covered captain’s chairs facing each other in a salon like seating arrangement will cosset guests all the way to the mountain resort. In addition, a rear bench will seat an additional 3 adults or it can lay flat like a bed. The Brilliant Van has a rich interior with a lovely hardwood floor, leather upholstery and padded surfaces over the entire interior.
