|  Spring Into Bear Valley Events
Spring is well on it's way and we've been lavishing the sunny weather. 2008 couldn't have brought better conditions - with more than 18 feet of snow in January and February, conditions are set for the rest of the season. The spring sun brings lots of activities around the mountain and this weekend is no exception. March kicks off with competitions on the mountain and at the trails. For those looking to fine tune some park skills are maybe even learn some new ones, our free Progression Session park clinic will get you stylin' in no time. After picking up some new skills, test them out against other BV riders at our BV Sessions Slopestyle Comp. With a $1500 cash purse plus lots of prizes to give away, there's plenty of chances to pick up some sweet new swag. Registration for both events will happen on the day. Helmets are required and if you're under 18, you need a parent's release.
35th Annual Bjornloppet Comes to Bear Valley Cross Country On Saturday March 8th cross country skiers from near and far will assemble in the Bear Valley Meadow for the 35th running of the Bjornloppet Ski Race and Festival. With a 10:30 am start, The Bjornloppet, meaning Bear Race in Norwegian, is enjoyed by young and old alike. There are divisions for all ages and two distances are offered, 20 kilometers (two laps) and 10 kilometers. The mass start is fun to watch with the go-fast racers using the ski skating technique. The course winds through aspen trees, over some roller coaster terrain and ends up on the Bjornloppet Trail with its’ notorious Bjornloppet Downhill. Thrills and spills are part of the racing game as the race can be won or lost on this section alone. After the race is over, skiers will gather at Headwaters for an outrageous awards ceremony with tons of prizes from Salomon, Clif Bar, Patagonia, and many of the local merchants. The buzz is that it pays to play at this race as 1st through 3rd in all age classes are awarded prizes. Saturday is the main event but on Sunday March 9th a second day of racing is offered up for striders (classic skiers only – no ski skaters). This 10 Kilometer event starts at 10:00 am, features a different course and is followed up by a nice awards party with prizes as well. The events are hosted by Bear Valley Cross Country, which is reporting excellent mid winter ski conditions. For more info, visit www.bearvalleyxc.com or call (209) 753-2834. | | | |
