Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! We picked up 5" of new snow at our study plot in the last 24hrs. Interestingly the town side picked up a bit more......orographic lift is all I have to say. A bag of warmer temps and mixed precipitation descended upon Bear Valley as the recent storm snow was a mixed bag. So with an 87" base at mid Mtn and 194" for the season total so far, things are much different than the last 3 years. Today's high should be right around 44F with winds out of the South from 3-7mph. Thursday looks to be even warmer by a few degrees before the next shot o' snow arrives Friday. We look to pick up another 8-18" by Saturday so it's a powder riding weekend my friends! Come on up and Enjoy the easiest drive to any resort on the west slope, All Weather Highway 4, always open, easy and fun! Don't forget about our "Pure Mtn Fun" attitude...

Angels Camp, CA...If you ventured out into the snow country over the past holiday season, you no doubt saw just how excited we humans were to see the white stuff after four years of scant snowfall. Highway turnouts were packed with vehicles, some chaining up the tires, others just parked for roadside snowmen and selfies, and the sledders were everywhere! It was fun to see, and sometimes a little scary with such proximity to a principal highway, so we thought a little guide to Calaveras’ better places to sled was in order for this month. From roadside slopes to pay-to-play facilities with restrooms and sled rentals, we’ve rounded up a handful of options to help you have a safe and fun snow day next time you venture up.
