Current Events

Life in the Mountains is one Event after Another. 

Every season has its own activities and events.

Here is what is coming up in our area.

Heavy Snow comes to the Sierra

  SNOW HAS ARRIVED!!!   

26 inches of snow has fallen at Bear Valley Ski Resort and another 4-9 inches on its way.

The Pine Tree, our local online paper, reports that Bear Valley is offering $99 season passes. It may be a late start for our California winter but it is now blessing us with deep, deep snow.


 

Bear Valley supports our Military!!

Free Adult lift tickets every Sunday to all active duty military personnel and continuing through the end of the 2011-2012 season.

“Welcome Home” and Merry Christmas to our troops coming home from war in Iraq and throughout the world. America is proud of all of your sacrifices and contributions to the safety of our country. As a Vietnam disabled veteran I personally appreciate and commend all that you have done. You are ALL true heroes! All of us at Bear Valley Mountain look forward to seeing many of you on the slopes this season. As part of our contribution for serving our country we have set aside all Sundays throughout the season as a free ski day to all of our active military. You all have served to the highest level of commitment to honor and protect. Our Free active military Sunday gift is a small way of showing our appreciation to you all.” -

There are very resourceful folks up here in Calaveras County who turned this windstorm damage around and have the park ready again. Yes many trees did not make it through the wind storm of early December, but they are limbed, bucked and the park is open for guests.

Sierra Nevada Logging Museum

Closed until the spring.

 

Are you ready for some Mountain Fishing? April 30th is the beginning of river and lake fishing on the Highway 4 corridor. There are a lot of fishing spots up here where you are not amongst crowds of other anglers. Try fishing on a river where there is nobody around. Yes, you can do this. You can get all your fishing equipment and your license at EBBETTS PASS SPORTING GOODS. 

Rent a cabin for a few days, pick up your license and bait and head up to our clear water rivers and lakes. There is nothing better than fresh caught mountain trout!! And the best part is, you can cook them in a fully stocked kitchen and eat them at a dining room table. Beats a campfire and cooking with sticks. 

 

 

ARNOLD RIM TRAIL

The Arnold Rim Trail (ART) is a unique trail system at mid-elevation in the central Sierra Nevada Mountains. A non-motorized trail system designed for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians, it connects the many wonders of public lands along the Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway stretch of Hwy 4 to its communities, creating a high level of access for its residents and visitors. You’ll discover breathtaking vistas with panoramic views stretching from Mt. Diablo in the East Bay Area to snowy Mt. Lyell on the high eastern slopes of the Sierras near Yosemite, then dive down into canyons with streams coursing through the shade of older growth forests of cedar, pine, fir and oak. High rocky promontories, native acorn grinding rocks, a magnificent waterfall, many birds and wildlife of all kinds, and a lake lie along its current completed section in the part of the Stanislaus National Forest known as the Interface
