Skiing in Bear Valley has been awesome this spring, especially after a fresh snow. Once in a while you find that secret spot that gives you the feeling of pure happiness. We traversed out to an outside area where virgin snow lay in front of us. No tracks in sight. Just untouched rolling terrain. We all made perfect turns as we skied down this amazing terrain. The second joy in completing this run is to look back at your tracks and view the perfect linked turns. After that the excitement, came the statement "Let's do it again" We all did.

You would be suprised at the fun the bear Valley area has to offer so close to the Bay area. Maybe I will regret it but right now few have have discovered the fun and beauty of our area. Come take a look. www.sierravacationrentals.com 1 209 795-4712
