Posted by: thepinetree on 02/18/2015 12:58 PM
Bear Valley, CA... Hey Good People! Sunny today with a high near 63. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon. As the week progresses the High pressure ridge will break down a bit and by Saturday we could see a possibility of snow albeit only an inch or two if it does shift more Southward. Cooler temps will also arrive on the heels of the coming system so another opportunity for us to make snow is on the horizon. Bring the family and friends up for some "Pure Mtn Fun" as it's a great time to take advantage of some of the deals we have going on. Check our web page- www.bearvalley.com and our Facebook page for more info on upcoming events. Peace Out, Mattly
