Posted by: thepinetree on 12/02/2018 10:32 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! As I write and have a strong cup o’ coffee on hand the temp is 12F at 5am! Crisp overnight temps will lead to another awesome day of skiing and riding. 29″ is the storm total so far and with a 35″ base and 50″ for the season so far and we are off to a great Holiday season. Today the high will be around 27F with light NE winds from 5-8mph. Monday looks to be a repeat with a few degrees warmer then we will be back into another snow cycle. The Tuesday through Thursday event is still coming into focus as the models are a bit different but all are showing snowfall. We will see a better forecast for that event come Monday as snow levels look to be around the 5000′ level for that event. We are open weekends only until Dec 15th when we go 7 days a week. As always we’re about “Pure Mtn Fun” .

Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! It’s 5am and the snow just started falling again, 2″ so far. Cold temps with an overnight low of 20F will give today’s skiing/riding experience a wonderful light snow experience. We look to pick up 9-13″ of new snow today as the models have certainly fluctuated back and forth over totals in the last 48hrs. The high will be around 27F with SW winds in the mid teens with some gusts into the mid 20’s. Another cold evening is on tap with a low of 17F forecasted. Scattered snow showers tonight will give way to a beautiful sunny Sunday so get on up and check out the new snow and bring family and friends because we’re going to all have a good time.
