Bear Valley is a family friendly resort. The natural layout makes skiing easy for families. Small lift lines and spread out terrain makes for great skiing.

Alot of variety can be experienced in this resort. A back side helps spread people out across Bear Valley!

I felt BV is a good bargain. It isnt very crowded and is scenic. I wish their lodge were renovated and that the food was better at the lodge eateries. Also, I think ski and snow board rental desk could have been staffed and more organized than it was on my visit. Apparently an attendant took a lunch break and there was no one there to relieve her/him/they. The runs were nice. I would return to BV if I wanted to save money over Tahoe, but Tahoe offers better runs and nicer food/accommodations.
