As the manhunt for Christopher Dorner continues, authorities are starting to become skeptical that Dorner is still at Big Bear Lake. 

Police will still continue to search Bg Bear in which they found Dorner's burned-out truck on Thursday afternoon. Authorities have not released what was found inside the truck. They have carefully looked for Dorner in about 200 cabins in the area. SWAT officers will continue to search the premises throughout the weekend.

After being shutdown on Thursday afternoon, Big Mountain ski resort and Snow Summit opened normally on Friday. In a Friday afternoon news conference, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon stated that he agreed with the decision to reopen the local resorts.

Big Bear Lakes Mayor Jay Obernolte also spoke at the conference, and he believed that Dorner "poses no threat to the ski resorts; that's why they're open."
