The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping & Renting Locally!

Arnold, Murphys & Sonora, CA...The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping Locally! Back in the early 90’s, when Shawn was selling out of the back of his truck as “The Eddy Mart”, the most important items to have on hand were life jackets, river shorts, sandals and river knives. Oh yes, and a few things the rafting customers would want, t-shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc. It became obvious that The Eddy Mart was getting too big to operate out of a garage when the whitewater kayaks came. It was time for a storefront. That’s when providence arrived on the scene.
Hey Good People!! This Storm Has Brought 13 Inches of Fresh Powder So Far to Bear Valley! ~ Mattly Trent

Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! The current system is dropping good amounts of new snow in the Sierra. We picked up 10″ overnight as of 4am and 13″ so far for the storm total. Wind values have been a little less overnight but redistribution on the hill will give way to some deeper totals today and through tomorrow. Breezy conditions will continue today with a South wind from 20-26mph with gusts upwards of 40mph. 10-16″ of new snow is still expected to fall today and tonight a possible whopping 14-20″ as the system digs in and pulls good moisture off of the Pacific. Surface gradients will increase and winds could see the 50mph range later tonight. Unsettled snowy weather will continue through the week and into next weekend with Tuesday and Wednesday squeaking out another foot of snow possibly. We’ll see a rise in snowfall elevations by late Monday up to 6000′. It’s time for some POW riding my friends so come on up and enjoy some “Pure Mtn Fun”.
