Nestled in the heart of the Central Sierra between the Mokelumne and Carson Iceberg Wilderness areas, Bear Valley Cross Country & Adventure Company is located on all-weather Highway 4 / Ebbetts Pass, a designated National Scenic Byway. There are 35 trails on over 3,000 acres that are groomed for track, skate skiing and snowboarding. There are also professional ski instructors, a ski school, the Meadow Cafe, a complete rental, demo and retail facility, 4 Trailside Huts, a sledding/tubing facility and a variety of special events and races.
Even though there has been 58 days of no snow since October and this has seriously affected the trails. Owner Paul Peterson says that there is still plenty to do at the facility.
“This is the latest start to ski season I have ever seen in 37 winters on the slopes these slopes” says Peterson.
“ We have tubing, ice skating where we groom the pond with a Zambonie and plenty of things to do for winter activities .”
Peterson is confident that with the snowfall predicted in the coming weeks, that the facility will be up and running at full scale.
