Arnold, Murphys & Sonora, CA...The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping Locally! Back in the early 90’s, when Shawn was selling out of the back of his truck as “The Eddy Mart”, the most important items to have on hand were life jackets, river shorts, sandals and river knives. Oh yes, and a few things the rafting customers would want, t-shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc. It became obvious that The Eddy Mart was getting too big to operate out of a garage when the whitewater kayaks came. It was time for a storefront. That’s when providence arrived on the scene.
Murphys, CA...Melanie Klann is a favorite here at Marisolio. She is an accomplished baker of all things bread. She has taught some fun classes her at Marisolio! Her Paella class was amazing! Southern Ribs with her signature “crack corn” creamed corn is fantastic. She also owns a successful winery, Newsome Harlow her in downtown Murphys, with her husband Scott.

Today will be sunny(the first in some time) with a high of 22F and NE winds into the teens. Tuesday looks to be a repeat of today with a few degrees warmer and still great skiing/riding to be had. Wednesday through Thursday looks to bring in another shot of snow with 4-9″ possible then a sunny day Friday and return of snow showery weather for the weekend currently. The Grizz Bowl will remain offline for the next few days due to copious amounts of water saturation and avalanche hazards present and the need to let the snow pack consolidate and bond.
