Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! High pressure and ridging has a firm hold over Central/Nor Cal today and will continue for the next 5/6 days. Some high level clouds may make an appearance but that will be about it. Temps will increase over the next few days as today's high will reach 52F and climb steadily up to 56F by Monday. Winds today will be out of the Southeast and up to 5mph. It's a spring like feel and conditions on the Mtn are representative of these changes. We're grooming almost everything for your riding pleasure as the East Ridge on the Village side was groomed last night and today Snow Valley will be also getting a make over so the lower Mtn will be closed to accommodate winching operations and we plan to have it back open at 9am on Saturday. Abundant snowfall ths season has set us up for great spring conditions and having wrote that, we're extending our season for another week!

Hey Good People!! Blue Bird Days & Almost 14 Feet Of Snow Equals "Pure Mountain Fun"
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/08/2017 02:59 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! As high pressure has firmly put itself in place off the Pacific Coast we will continue to see Sunny weather into the weekend and possibly beyond. Strong ridging will keep any available moisture well to the North for the next 5 days and temps will be on the increase as well. Today the high comes in around 46F with East winds from 5-10mph. The highs this week will continue to rise and peak on Friday with a projected 53F. It has been an amazing Winter so far but the long range forecasts still show some good snow fall to occur in the 7-10 day outlook and beyond. A bit of a break is happily accepted as all of us at the resort can use some breathing room from back to back storms and rejuvenate with some sunshine for awhile. Come up to Bear Valley and experience our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........
