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.

Parking is very optimal here make sure to get here early you can ski right from your car to the lift and back down when you leave!!

The resort is pretty big and has a good variety of runs for different skill levels and the staff are nice and helpful

I love this resort Ive been skiing there my whole life. It is a small resort, but everyone knows everyone there. It is very family friendly.
