Thousands Remain Powerless (At Least from PG&E) on Friday Morning!
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/29/2021 09:03 AM
Arnold, CA...The local power outage situation has not improved from last evening and in some areas the outages increased. The outages are widespread and in some cases PG&E cannot even access the damaged equipment to start repairs. Lets hope the break in the weather on Saturday and Sunday will allow PG&E and other utility companies such as Comcast to get the necessary repairs made to their systems. As of this morning Amador seems to be fairing better that Alpine, Calaveras or Tuolumne Counties. The Images are North to South from Amador County to Groveland.
Hey Good People!! Bear Valley Recovering & Doing Avalanche Control Today for an Epic Tomorrow!!
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/29/2021 09:50 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! We will be closed today 1/29/21 for snow recovery and reopen Saturday 1/30/21.
16″ of new snow has fallen overnight and 63″ in the last 5 days! Today we could pick up another 1-2″ before the system exhausts itself and heads East. 21F looks to be the high today with lite SSW winds up to 8mph. Saturday is looking to be the bluebird we all look forward to with a high of 30F and superb coverage all around the operable terrain. Grizzly Bowl will remain closed through the weekend to allow some settling to help out with Avalanche Hazards in that area. Currently Avalanche Hazards are at 5 Extreme, the highest on the scale so in depth analysis and slow moving will be the key to mitigate the current hazards across the resort. Some chair opening delays may be possible on Saturday so we ask for your patience. Get out and ski/ride and enjoy the Pure Mtn Fun ethos!
Stay tuned...

Update on Storm Related PG&E Power Outages. Blankets, Batteries & Bottled Water at Murphys Warming Center
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/29/2021 05:36 PM
Stockton, CA...We wanted to provide an update on power outages as we are through the worst of the storm. The good news is that we haven’t seen the massive outage activity that we had predicted, particularly in the lower elevations of Calaveras County and the Highway 26 area. There are almost 8,000 customers out in the upper Highway 4 area, from Arnold to Bear Valley due to wind and snow related damages. PG&E crews are very early in our process of assessing damage, so we are not able to provide good estimated times of restoration yet. I will keep you posted as we know more, and of course please reach out if you have any questions.
