Posted by: thepinetree on 12/02/2015 07:36 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Bear Valley Mountain and Bear Valley Cross Country opened for the 2015/16 season this last weekend. It is always a great site to see bullwheels turning and chairlifts filling with skiers for another season. Bear Valley Cross Cross Country is now open daily for the season for Cross Country Skiing and Sledding On their sledding hill. The mountain will be open on weekends until the 19th when it will go to full time operations until typically April. Bear Valley Mountain provided some of the best conditions on the west coast last year. With their great snow making they even held the last NASTAR race in the entire nation last year.
Avery, CA...On Friday, November 13th The Amelia McKeen Memorial Library was dedicated and unveiled. Ms. McKeen lost a heroic battle with cancer a few weeks before the end of last school year. She instilled in her students the thrill of learning, joy in the quest for knowledge, love of reading and the example of putting the time in the classroom with them ahead of even her own struggles against her illness. One can only imagine the resolve it took on some mornings to make it her class and help young minds on their way up the ladder of education.
