Get Your Cali Pass at Bear Valley Resort
Ski at Mountain High, Dodge Ridge and China Peak!
Bear Valley Resort is quite possibly one of the best kept secrets in the Sierra. It is a fact it is the only Central Sierra resort on the west slope offering terrain, acreage and elevations comparable to Tahoe ski resorts.
Many avid Bay and Central Valley area winter enthusiasts have already made the switch. Waiting for them is a family-friendly atmosphere and smaller crowds.
Shorter lift lines allow more actual skiing and boarding.
Perhaps just as important, they like the idea of a less time consuming drive to and from the region as well. Get Your Season Pass Now!
While the mountain is well known to Central Valley riders; skiers and boarders should note that it is just a three and a hour drive from the communities surrounding San Francisco.
So get excited, wax your boards and make a reservation. Bear Valley Resort is here for you!
Let’s talk about the mountain. With natural snowfall averaging 359″ (30 feet) annually.
