Bear Valley, CA...After a long, silent and quiet summer the mtn and village are in full swing, rapidly gearing up for what is going to be a great rebounding winter. Opening day for the mountain is Dec 21st and winter has definitely arrived with a vengeance. It’s been snowing often and a lot, with opening day less than three weeks away; I fully expect for some its never soon enough and seems like an eternity away, yet for others it’s just around the corner...
A Very GABA Party at Sequoia Woods! ~By John Hamilton
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/03/2012 10:48 AM
Arnold, CA....Last Thursday night the banquet room at Sequoia Woods Country Club was filled to the brim with over 100 local business people who gathered for the Greater Arnold Business Association's (GABA) Annual Christmas Dinner. It was another great example of the continuing push by the Arnold area and it's businesses to improve the local economy and burnish Arnold's place as a destination spot. GABA has seen a resurgence the last year and it is great to see one of Calaveras County's best destinations firing on all cylinders. Congrats GABA on the great year!!
