There are weather websites that have snow cover maps that you can see where there is snow. Try googling snow cover map. I just did, and it looked like there was very little in the SB Mountains. You might be able to get webcam data from nearby DOT locations or possibly resorts as well. Find nearby ski places if there are any and see if they are making snow, that would indicate the natural snow levels are diminishing/gone.
Hey, I need to take some nice photos of a friend in a natural setting in San Bernardino. I'd love to do it in the national park. But my friend has mobility issues and can't hike very far. I was thinking of a really forested setting, a rocky scree, or a vista point as potentially good spots to take the pictures. Where within the forest would be the best places to take those kinds of photos—with no more than about 200 feet of a walk? Unfortunately, I'm not local so I can't go out there myself to scope it out! Thanks so much!

You can go to Big Bear Lake in this area to take some great pics. Also, along the way there are great pull over spots for picture taking. It is a beautiful park.
