Race Teams

Registration is open for the 2008/2009 Race Teams. Youth programs are a top priority for Bear Valley. The Mountain's Team programs are designed to foster a love for snow sports, develop ski/snowboard athletes, encourage a healthy lifestyle and enrich the child/family experience. To aid in increasing attention to team members, Bear Valley has enlisted our Administrative Specialist, Alicia Samis, to support registration, scheduling, communication, class organization on practice days and events. If you are interested in the program, please contact Alicia by email.

Bear Valley Sports Education Foundation (BVSEF)

BVSEF is a not-for profit organization dedicated to the support of Bear Valley's snowsports athletes. Its membership is made up of parents and volunteers, such as yourselves, whose children are involved in the snowsports programs at Bear Valley.
All families will need to register on the Bear Valley Sports Education Foundation website at www.bvsef.org. This is a free site with your membership, but does require a password to access. This is the main form of communication that will be used by Bear Valley and its coaches to keep you updated on your child's ski program throughout the ski season. If you have not already registered, PLEASE DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Individuals and families who are not Team members may register on the website as a Associate Member for $25.00/yr or other supporting donation.
To help keep the cost down on your child's skiing program, BVSEF parent members should plan on volunteering their time at the events that take place at Bear Valley throughout the ski season. Some of the events that we support through our volunteerism are:

1). The USSA Far-West J4-J5 slalom race that takes place this
season at Bear Valley on January 10-11. 2009.

2). Jim Bottomley Memorial Race. (During Christmas camp, final
date to be announced).

3). Devo Olympics- End of the season race for all Devo participants.

4). Auction and Fund raising events, such as our Silent Auction and
Casino Night. (dates to be announced).

Please help our young athletes by being a volunteer. If all parents could commit to volunteering at these events throughout the year we will be able to help Bear Valley put on a great ski season for our children.
