NEW SNOW - COME AND GET IT!

Today I indulged in an hour of powder pleasure to capture images (for the marketing office) of the latest offering from Mother Nature. Over a FOOT of new snow, 15 degrees, light to moderate winds and a mountain nearly all to myself. Normally when I go out to take care of on-hill work :-) it's a quick boot up, scoot out the back door of the admin building, take a couple runs solo and get back to the office! Today, I was lucky enough to run into friends as I was heading out... friends I rarely, in the 15 years I've worked here, get to ski with! Today, I twisted their arms and asked them to ski for me so I could snap a couple pics of them tracking up the new snow! My instructions were simple. "Ski fast, ski right at me, hug the tree line... oh, and most importantly SMILE"! Thanks Rick and Graz for humoring me!

My advice, if you can work it into your schedule, make time to get up and enjoy the fantastic Mid-winter snow conditions this week/weekend at Bear! ps - Grizz & Snow Valley were on hold today (closed due to high avalanche activity)... should re-open tomorrow after Patrol conducts safety measures... check the website or call the main line 209.753.2301 x0 after 8:30am Wednesday for the lower mountain opening schedule.
