Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! 8″ in the last 24hrs. Cold overnight temps in the single digits will make for yet another day of “Pure Mtn Fun” with soft pow riding still in effect for days to come! 9F at 5am this morning with overnight winds out of the NE up to 39mph. Today will be sunny(the first in some time) with a high of 22F and NE winds into the teens. Tuesday looks to be a repeat of today with a few degrees warmer and still great skiing/riding to be had. Wednesday through Thursday looks to bring in another shot of snow with 4-9″ possible then a sunny day Friday and return of snow showery weather for the weekend currently. The Grizz Bowl will remain offline for the next few days due to copious amounts of water saturation and avalanche hazards present and the need to let the snow pack consolidate and bond. Don’t forget to come check out our Pure Mtn Fun as we have lots of it going on this President Holiday weekend.
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.
