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.

Angels Camp, Calif. — It’s been five long years since California river guides have been able to get excited about the Sierra Nevada snowpack. But based on the most recent snow survey, and just one year after the driest winter ever recorded in California history, veteran California rafting outfitter, O.A.R.S., is excited to release the best California whitewater forecast in five years. “There’s no doubt that this will be the best season we’ve seen since 2010 and 2011,” O.A.R.S.’ California Manager and longtime river guide, Chris Moore, said. “We’re especially excited about the opportunity to run the North Fork of the Stanislaus and the North Fork of the American this year, as well as high-water on the Tuolumne. It’s going to be the experience of a lifetime.”
