We went to Big Bear!
Most companies have holiday parties, right? Well, we took a holiday TRIP! We took the Freck team and their +1s up to Big Bear for a quick holiday trip between the holiday craziness at work. We stayed on the lake, ate some food, roasted s'mores and went snow tubing. It was the perfect way to spend some time in the snow and hang out without talking shop. Here are all the spots we hit up while on the mountain!
WHERE WE STAYED

Noon Lodge seemed to be a clear choice here, especially in Big Bear which isn't exactly aesthetically oriented (it's ok, the town has other things to offer). It comes without saying that you need a big place to house a whole team and their boo thangs. Noon Lodge is in a bay on the lake, with multiple fire pits, a fireplace, pool, and bocce ball.
WHAT WE ATE

Fire Rock Burgers and Brews is right in the Village, just a few minutes from Noon Lodge and all the other activities. Their menu is filled with tons of crazy burger options. I got the one with pineapple ;)...
Teddy Bear Restaurant is another spot that we stopped at in the village. They're known for the HUGE chicken pot pie that can easily feed two people (Remi is obsessed)..

The Captain's Anchorage is the last name you think you'd hear in a mountain town. But if you love prime rib, this is apparently THE place to go.
WHAT WE DID
Ok so you know we only had 24 hours to do as much as we could...and half of that time was eating haha. Of course, we couldn't leave town without doing something in the snow!
The Bowling Barn was the first activity we hit up after lunch at Fire Rock. This wasn't on the agenda, but you could not miss the giant red barn on the corner before entering the village on the way to lunch.
After dinner at The Captain's Anchorage, we headed back to Noon Lodge for games, smores, and secret Santa by the fire. A game of Uno, marshmallows, and presents...what more could you want?

Tubing at Snow Summit was on the agenda for the next day. Can you believe that there were multiple people that have never seen snow before?! What a better way to spend 24 hours in Big Bear than to bring them to the slopes for their first time. Of course we couldn't get ski lessons and gear rentals for everyone, so tubing on the slope was the next best thing! We have tons of photos from tubing so peep them below ;).



24 hours doesn't seem like much time to spend in Big Bear, but we did lots more than we expected we could do! Let us know what we should hit up next time when we're back! :)

I had always been cautious about where I put my money, but the allure of high returns in the crypto world was something I couldn’t ignore. That’s how I found myself investing $93,000 into what I thought was a legitimate Bitcoin investment platform. The initial returns were impressive, and I was hooked, seeing my investment grow day by day on the platform’s dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw my earnings, the site suddenly became unresponsive, emails went unanswered, and my funds seemed to vanish into thin air. Desperation set in as I realized I’d fallen victim to a scam. I spent sleepless nights researching recovery options, my trust in digital finance shattered. That’s when I stumbled upon a forum where others shared similar stories, and one name kept coming up: Alpha Spy Nest. Skeptical but clinging to hope, I reached out.
From our first interaction, the team at Alpha Spy Nest displayed a level of professionalism and empathy I hadn’t expected. They listened to my story, asking detailed questions about how I’d interacted with the scam site, transaction details, and any communication I’d had. Their approach was meticulous; they explained how they would trace the blockchain transactions, looking for patterns and anomalies that could lead back to where my crypto was held. The process wasn’t quick, but the regular updates from Alpha Spy Nest kept me in the loop. They used advanced blockchain analytics to trace my $93,000 through various addresses, which had been cleverly disguised by the scammers. Weeks passed, and then one day, I received a call – they had managed to locate a significant portion of my funds.
Alpha Spy Nest had traced the transactions to a few exchanges where the scammers had attempted to cash out or move the funds. With their expertise in dealing with such platforms, they coordinated with legal teams and the exchanges themselves to initiate a recovery process. It wasn’t all of it, but I was able to recover 85% of my initial investment, which was far more than I had dared to hope for.The relief was overwhelming, but what stood out was the education they provided. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just help recover my funds; they equipped me with knowledge on how to secure my digital assets better. They recommended stronger wallet security measures, the importance of due diligence in investments, and how to spot red flags with platforms too good to be true.In the end, what could have been a devastating financial blow turned into a lesson in resilience and cybersecurity. Thanks to Alpha Spy Nest. Contact below.

From a young age, football was my passion, and this love for the sport led me to pursue a career as a professional footballer in England. While it was a dream come true, the financial rewards weren’t as substantial as I had hoped. Realizing the need for financial security beyond my football career, I began exploring alternative investment opportunities. At the time, Bitcoin was a hot topic among my colleagues, and their enthusiasm sparked my interest. With growing curiosity, I decided to invest £8,000 in Bitcoin, and over time, my investment grew to an impressive £50,000. This financial success gave me the confidence to expand my business ventures and take on larger projects. However, my excitement was short-lived when I fell victim to a sophisticated phishing scam. One day, I encountered a website that looked identical to my trusted trading platform. Believing it was legitimate, I entered my login details without hesitation. Shortly after, I discovered that my Bitcoin wallet had been emptied. Years of hard work and financial growth vanished in an instant. I was devastated and felt completely helpless. A friend in the crypto community recommended Rapid Digital Recovery, a team known for helping individuals recover stolen cryptocurrency. Desperate for a solution, I reached out to them, What sapp Info: +1 41 4 80 7 14 85, hoping they could help me reclaim what I had lost. From the very first interaction, I was impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and efficiency.The team at Rapid Digital Recovery thoroughly investigated the fraudulent activity, and to my immense relief, they managed to recover most of my stolen funds. Beyond their technical expertise, they also took the time to educate me on essential security measures. They recommended using hardware wallets for added safety, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), and double-checking website URLs to avoid phishing scams in the future. Their guidance proved invaluable, not only helping me recover my funds but also ensuring that I could better protect my investments moving forward. My journey with Bitcoin has been a mix of success and challenges. While I’ve experienced the joy of financial growth, I’ve also learned the harsh realities of the digital world. Thanks to Rapid Digital Recovery, I now approach cryptocurrency with caution and confidence, armed with the knowledge to navigate this complex space securely.

Good day everyone. I’ve always played lottery games with the hope that someday I will win but that never happened. I did some research online and I came across an advert about Dr lucky who helps people that believe in his work. I explained my situation to him and he prepared a lottery spell for me and gave me some special digits to play the lottery. I did as he said without any skepticism and could you believe that after 3 days, I checked my ticket at a store where I bought it from and for the very first time in my life, I won the sum of £70,820,000 MILLION POUNDS. Now my life has changed for good, I am a boss of my own and I am so happy that I meant this great man called Dr lucky . You can be a boss of your own too by getting in touch with him. For urgent response from Dr lucky you could reach him through his email address castereffectivespell@gmail.com WhatsApp: +254795696876
