Bear Valley (resort)
Published June 25th, 2008 in UncategorizedBear Valley is a ski area located on highway 4 between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite—about three hours southeast of Sacramento, California. It is about one hour from Angels Camp, California.
For years, Bear Valley Mountain Resort has been known by very few people, and is a favorite over other resorts because of its hometown resort feel.
The resort has one high-speed quad, two triple chairs, six double chairs, and one magic carpet.
List Of Chairs:
- Grizzly
- Kodiak
- Polar Express (new 2006-2007 season, replaced Hibernation)
- Bear
- Kuma
- Pooh
- Cub
- Super Cub
- Koala
- Panda Carpet
There are 67 trails consisting of 25% beginner, 40% intermediate and 35% advanced. There are two double black diamond gates: Hari-Kari and West Ridge.
Since new ownership beginning July 2005, the buses were repainted, the day lodge was remodeled, and four new snowcats were acquired.
Future
New lifts and a gondola from town are planned, as is a mountain top day lodge and possible terrain expansion. Possibly a focus on becoming a year round resort, which includes addition of a zipline, mountain biking, hiking, and an Alpine Coaster (Summer Bobsled.)
