Family is going to big bear lake for first time. WHAT TO DO!?

ok well my family is planning to go to big bear lake and would like to just go to play in the snow and snow down hills. we found a place where we can use tubes and stuff, but we also want to know where the best place is to just make snowmen snow angels and throw snow at each other. o and we also want to go skiing and we found some lessons but im confused bcuz it says something about giving free lessons but it sounds too good to be true."This is absolutely the best package for first-timers! We guarantee you will be able to ride our beginner chairlifts (Chairs 4 and 8 at Snow Summit and Chairs 6 and 7 at Bear Mountain) by the end of the day or we will give you FREE lessons and beginner area use tickets* (valid during lesson only) until you can! Includes 4 hours of instruction (2 hours a.m. and 2 hours p.m.) and an beginner area use ticket*. Each special also includes a “Continuing Education Coupon” worth $20 off the price of a Beyond Beginner Ski or Ride Special! Discounted rate for ski or snowboard rental is only $20." is it really free lessons? any other good places to visit at big bear lake? thx! really appreciate. like shopping and attractions.
