Hey Good People! 5"-9" of Snow is Expected Today!! Bear Valley Now Open Every Day!
Posted by: News_Desk on 12/13/2020 01:30 PM
Bear Valley, CA... Hey Good People! As the upper level trough makes way, colder temps will arrive first thing this morning and help bring snow levels down to the 4500′. Surface gradients will tighten also and bring winds into the teens with possible gusting into the 30’s today. Currently the temp is 30F at the resort but that will plummet to the low 20’s and that will certainly help out snowfall production as we could see 5-9″ fall today. Another 3-5″ is expected this evening before the system heads east by early Monday morning. Cool temps and clear skies will prevail into Wednesday which will bring a return of possible snowfall. What California needs is for the upper jet to start tracking a bit further south which will put us in a good trajectory for the later half of December for more snowfall. Make sure to follow California guidelines and our area safe COVID-19 practices.
