We’re excited to welcome the Bret Harte Ski & Snowboard Team to Bear Valley as they continue a strong start to their inaugural season. The team is coming off impressive early results in CNISSF South 1 Division competition, including podium finishes against a deep field of schools from across the region.
With momentum already building, today’s race at Bear Valley adds another chapter to a promising first season for Bret Harte’s program. Read the full race recap and results here: https://www.brethartebullfrogs.org/o/bhhs/article/2654411
Two race courses will be in action today: one dedicated to skiers on Feather Duster, and one for snowboarders on Upper Nastar/Kyle’s. Ski racers will begin loading at 9:00 AM, with a planned race start at 10:00 AM.
Good luck to all competitors as they kick off the season on snow!
