Bear valley is nestled of Hwy 207 the shortest state highway in the lower 48., off Hwy 4. This ski are brings a verity of terrain. Form the ski into the village to skiing home or cabin at the end of the day. It has beginner to advanced terrain with wonderful tree runs scattered all over the place. Its also home to the great grizzly bowl. A challenging area on the lower half of the mountain for both advanced and expert riders. It is very family oriented couple with a wonderful ski school. The apres ski hits hard with its newest bar at Maurys salon. A great place to be with small lift lines and an energy that just feels like home.

Last season my family went to Bear Valley. It was a lot closer to where we lived and it was a lot cheaper than other resorts. Being both closer and more affordable while still holding itself against the more expensive resorts made Bear Valley a resort that we will definitely be going to often.
