Bear Valley, CA....Hey Good People! 58" in the last week and well riding is exceptional with the continued cold temps on the backside of the recent storm system. Continued upper level low pressure will be in effect through the weekend and into Tuesday so expect snow showers to continue until that time. Today the high comes in around 25F with mostly sunny skies and East winds from 5-10mph. The second pulse of this low pressure system will arrive Sunday and drop snow levels down to a possible 1-2000' and 2-4" is expected for that system with snow ratios of 15:1 which equals super light density snowfall and we all know what that means.......Someone's been talking to Ullr............ Come up to Bear Valley and experience our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........

Arnold, CA...Damage To Blagen Road Culvert May Impede White Pines Park Summer Operations. (Editor's Note: We did a bit of digging and a temporary plank bridge 14 foot wide, 60 foot long & 90,000 lbs capacity can be rented for $3,000 to $5,000 per month. It seems this might be the best solution for this summer and fire season as it would restore functionality until they can knock out the repairs.)
