Posted by: thepinetree on 04/07/2016 11:13 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the Grizzly Bowl and conditions.......Last nights low was 46F and coupled with the previous weeks heat laden days, conditions in the lower mtn have gotten better in an ever narrowing window of open to close. Today that has changed. Deep melt is currently the thing at 9:26am and with loose wet slides already occurring today we have made the call to close it down for the day and the rest of the season.
