Celebrate Martin Luther King weekend at Bear Valley featuring an annual favorite event, the Winter Explosion happening Saturday, January 14th. Skiers and snowboarders can join in the fun, to light up the mountain with a torchlight parade immediately followed by a booming fireworks show. Open to approximately one hundred intermediate and advanced riders, this event is exhilarating for all ages. The advanced group will ride Porridge Bowl through Groovy Gully, and the intermediates slide down Porridge Bowl to Spring Gap. The two torch bearing groups will reunite at Super Cub for a breathtaking stream of lights, followed by a fireworks show that explodes above the slopes. Spectators can view the event from the slope side of the lodge and the Monte Wolf Saloon�s outside deck. Immediately following the light show our Hungry Bear Cafe will serve up a scrumptious meal including Honey Baked ham, scalloped potatoes, a vegetable medley, spinach salad with balsalmic viniagrette, fountain drink and dessert. No reservation necessary, just come and join the fun Saturday night!

Mountain Resort this holiday season.  Grizzly Update - Another Big Storm Needed
Late December storms kept fresh snow on the trees at the higher elevations for most of the holiday period, and made for a good start to the ski/snowboard season. Cool temperatures this week, current ample snow pack (70-75 inches) and nightly grooming efforts are providing for superb conditions on the upper mountain and backside. However, for those of us dreaming of powder days in the lower mountain (image at right may stir up emotions?) and making fresh tracks down Grizzly, the waiting game is on... Following a cease in storms about a week ago, Bear Valley Ski Patrol sent teams into the the lower mountain areas to assess the snow conditions. The report? Both Snow Valley and Grizzly Bowl are still in need of another one to two feet of snow to fully cover the terrain at the Grizz Bottom lift loading area. One more big storm cycle dumping snow near the 6,000 foot elevation level will enable us to open the lower mountain and sustain a high quality product. Stay tuned, do your snow dance, burn some boards... and bring on the SNOW!
* Special Notice to Season Pass Holders - We're offering a friendly reminder to always remember your season pass when planning to access the mountain. If you do forget or leave your pass at home, please visit our main office for $5 daily replacement ticket.
