Sunny skies and temps in the low 30s today are locking in yesterday’s snowfall. Conditions are prime with soft turns, preserved coverage, and plenty of good snow to be found across the mountain. It’s a great day to get laps in and enjoy the payoff from this week’s storm.
Grab your gear, rally your crew, and come experience it while it’s fresh. These are the days we wait all season for!

The CAL Band is bringing their unmatched energy to Bear Valley for one of our most anticipated weekends of the season!
