Powder, powder and more... Park?

Dear Ski and Snowboard Enthusiasts,

As it happens every time with out fail, all we need to do to get more snow is to schedule a ski race. With the Open League Ski Race kicking off last weekend 6 inches of fresh snow piled up. Last night the sky opened up again and and 8 more inches fell over night. AND IT IS STILL SNOWING! 

Look for sun tomorrow, Thursday Feb. 25th just in time for the Bear Valley Snowcat Tours and Out of Bounds Adventures to kick off their mid-week special :

enroll 2+ people and receive 25% off ("midweek" promotional code).  *Does not apply to lift tickets.

For more information on Snowcat Tours and registration follow the link to the MAS website  Click Here.

The forecast calls for more snow Friday and Saturday so, tighten up your powder skirts and get out to Bear Valley for some fresh tracks.

If powder is not your thing and you would rather test out your skills on a race course we're setting up a GS course on Saturday Feb. 27th from 10am to 1pm. This  will kick of this seasons first "Day at the Gates". The race crew will be on site to maintain the course. All you need is a lift ticket and there is no extra charge to run the course.

Now if fresh powder and a race course is not enough to get you and your family out to the slopes the Bear Valley park crew have been working hard the last few days to expand our backside park. They are pulling out all the features and buidling up the jumps. You can expect to see the staircase and even the barell bonk along side our wall ride, bus and a variety of rails and boxes.

  So take some time off to have fun on the slopes!

Your friends at Bear Valley Mountain

p.s. March Madness kicks off March 2nd with $12 Tuesdays!!!!

Getting Ready for Winter!

The Lift Maintenance Team has been busy this summer with routine maintenance on all inspectorlifts. We recently, successfully, completed 2 required "Dynamic Testings" on both Koala and Super Cub Chairlifts. We have another "Dynamic Test" scheduled for Pooh Lift before the ski season begins. These "Dynamic Testings" simulate a completed loaded lift of skiers/snowboarders and test all braking mechanisms. It is an Industry requirement to have lifts "Dynamic Tested" every 7 years. In addition, we are completing our State of California Tramway Section Lift Inspections. These State inspections occur twice per year, once during the summer and another during mid-winter. Our Lift Maintenance team looks forward to an early winter and lots of snow and will have all lifts ready and operational.
