Update 11/15 - Snow Is Falling, Stoke Is Rising!

Mother Nature is delivering steady snowfall! We received 3" overnight, bringing the 7-day total to 9" and the season total to 11".

More snow is on the way today, with 2–4 inches of additional accumulation possible and temperatures are holding near 26°F—perfect for snowmaking!

The snow stoke is at an all-time high! Our team is closely monitoring conditions and will keep you updated on our projected opening.

It’s not too late to join the fun and kick off the 24/25 season as part of the Bear Valley team! We’re hosting a hiring fair tomorrow at the Meadowmont Center Plaza in Arnold, CA, from 10AM–3 PM. Meet the team and apply in person!
