Tomorrow is OPENING DAY, and we’re excited to open up and welcome everyone back to the hill! We're happy to be one of five resorts open in California this holiday weekend. The snowmaking conditions have been very challenging, which is why so few resorts made it happen. That said, we will do our best to keep Moke Express open through Sunday, but that will be a call our Professional Ski Patrol makes at the end of each day. Please stay in touch with our snow report updates each afternoon on the Conditions and Updates page for the next day's lift operating schedule.
Winterfest Weekend
Take a look at our Opening Weekend Guide for everything happening in Bear Valley, including first chair fun, a ski swap, live music, a makers market, and more! It also provides hours of operation for village and resort venues.
