As with any Resort in Central/NorCal during this storm, we’re all working hard with snow removal, Mtn Operations and more. More terrain is slated to open over the weekend so stay tuned for that info and please remember, some closures may be in effect due to high winds and heavy snowfall. Remember, we’re about “Pure Mtn Fun” so come check us out this Winter !!!!! stay tuned......

And make their mark they did wearing 37 medals back to the Pond. Led by six seniors, four of whom are veterans, the Bullfrogs out scored four other schools to take the Team Regional Trophy home.

Arnold, CA...A quick look at the PG&E Outage Map shows their system is straining under the incoming storms with the Bay Area, Sacramento and north of Sacramento showing the stress this morning.
