Hey Good People!! 71 Inches From This Storm System & More To Fall!! ~ Mattly Trent
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/22/2017 01:53 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! 6" of new snow fell overnight as of 5am and winds are starting to pick up. We could see another 11-17" fall during the day today and winds are expected to increase this morning to around 24-34mph with some gusts to 50mph. The bulk of heavier winds will take place mostly in the am hours as the low pressure pushes onshore and warming convection from the days sunrise etc. By noon the winds should start to decrease somewhat as the system pushes farther East. Another 10-14" is expected to fall tonight and 2-4" is slated for Monday as the system presses East and comes to a close by late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. We're still assessing the Lwr mtn for Avalanche hazards which remain at a 4 High currently but patience is the key here. With the storm intensifying today it will remain closed. Until then copious amounts of quality riding is to be had on the frontside/backside and village sides of our Mtn. Stay safe, ride with a friend and be aware of deep tree wells as they are abundant inbounds and in the soft boundaries. Come on up and check out our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........
Too Much Snow? Really? Bear Valley To Use Monday Catch Up On Over 6.5 Feet Of New Snow!
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/22/2017 07:14 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Ironic, but, yes, that is the situation. After over 6.5 feet of snow in the last 4 days and the expectation for another 18 inches overnight we plan to close operations on MONDAY JAN 23rd to recover our infrastructure. The massive amount of snow combined with high winds and road closures forced many California resorts to shut down on Sunday. We are thankful to our operation teams for making a heroic effort to get open today and provide a full weekend of skiing/riding on the fresh powder that so many of our guests love. However the storm cycle continues and strengthens overnight and into tomorrow morning.

Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! We picked up another 12" of new snow overnight for a whopping storm total so far of 58"!!!!!!

The riding is off the hook right now and the upper mtn is in awesome shape as most everything is filled in.

Arnold & Groveland, CA...Your local Meadowmont & Groveland Pharmacies Can Help You Reach Your Goals. Click the image below for this month's health newsletter. New Year’s resolutions are so easy to make — and break. Why is it so hard to make them last? Scientists, funded by the National Institutes of Health, are learning more about how we can make healthy changes and sustain them. “Change is always possible,” says Dr. Linda Nebeling, an expert in behavioral change and nutrition at NIH. “One challenge with New Year’s resolutions is that people often set unrealistic goals. Any resolution to change needs to include small goals that are definable and accompanied by a solid plan on how you’ll get to that goal.”
