Bear Valley, CA...We just spoke with rescued Santa Cruz area snowboarder, Jerad Gerlach. As Jerad was trying to hike out last night he was caught in two small avalanches and spent the night out in the storm last evening. He lost his snowboard in one of the avalanches that occurred. He then let go of his board when an avalanche started pulling him and his board under. He was then able to keep himself above the surface. After the avalanches Jerad decided to stop trying to hike out and dug a snow cave to ride out the night....

Calaveras & Western Alpine Counties, CA...The great weather and 3 Day weekend brought the visitors to our area in droves. From the almost 5,000 skiers on the hill at BVMR, to the packed sledding hills and cross country trails at Bear Valley Cross Country and the hundreds of snowmobiles zipping about.

The !@#$% May Hit The Cyclone...and That's A Good Thing~By John Hamilton |

Bear Valley, CA...We had the chance to stop by the Bear Valley Water District Board meeting on Monday where they discussed an alternative to the proposed $12,000,000 conventional treatment plant. Partners from Clean Filtration Technologies gave a presentation on using a cyclonic filtration system and small micron filters instead of the traditional waste treatment facilities. One of the partners in the company is Bear Valley homeowner John Mallard. One of the added benefits of using a system like this is that it may be possible to get the output to "Title 22" standards. This level is needed to for treated water to be sprayed on Ball Fields, Parks, Golf Courses or even Snow Making. One option is for these systems to be built into standard shipping containers. This would help with the short building cycles in Bear Valley. The district could potentially drop in a turn key system for less than half the cost of the conventional treatment plants...
