Posted by: thepinetree on 12/18/2015 11:55 AM
Sacramento, CA...The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is encouraging taxpayers to find out if they are among the thousands of Californians who missed receiving a total of $28 million in income tax refunds. This year, the US Postal Service returned more than 49,000 personal income tax refunds to FTB. Most cases involve taxpayers who moved but failed to update their addresses with FTB. Taxpayers are strongly encouraged to use direct deposit, which allows FTB to deliver refunds in a matter of days.

Bear Valley, CA...We had the pleasure to spend a few minutes with New Bear Valley Mountain General Manager Andrea Young. Our local ski resort may be owned by a public company but management is now firmly in local hands. For new GM Andrea Young reaching the top spot at the resort reflects that Bear Valley has been part of her and her entire family's life since the 1980s. Her three children have literally grown up on the slopes she now manages. Mountain Manager Chris Aguirre has been at Bear Valley for an incredible 37 years.

Mattlys Weather For Dec 11th 2015! 16 Inches Of New Snow!!
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/11/2015 10:12 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People!!!! After a slow start yesterday with totals for all Nor Cal resorts coming in way under NOAA's forecasts we picked up 9" of new snow overnight giving a total of 12" for the current storm cycle. Today as the system moves East it could squeeze out another 1-3" possibly during the morning hours and give way to a slight break later tonight then scattered snow through out Saturday. Sunday ramps it right back up again to bring another 9-13" by Mondays end and then a break for the rest of the week. Winds will also be a factor for Sunday event and could get up to the 25-35mph range. Initial warmer temps delayed the arrival of consistent snow fall and with that said the first 3-5" of heavy dense snow that fell makes for a great Sierra base builder!! Cold temps made their way into the area by evening last night and dropped snow levels below the 6000'. It's great set up for the coming weekend so get ready people!
