The big question this week is: Do we think we are going to get open by Thanksgiving? It is still too far away to tell but we have snow on the ground, the storm door is open, more snow may be coming this weekend so it is a week by week call. Stay tuned to this website to learn about when we are going to have enough snow to groom the trails with. In the mean time, stay in shape and dig out the gear, dust it off and prep for that first day on snow. If you need help with your equipment, we are ready for you to either bring it in or shop for something new. The new carpet in the store looks great and the new clothing selection is more colorful than ever. I hope to play with you soon!

I am sad to see the end of the season. Thanks to you all for a very memorable winter of skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, tubing, and celebrating a good sporting life. The Memorial Day Weekend XC Clinic/Camp is on! Ski skating only (for intermediate or better skiers), Saturday and Sunday and downhill skills as well as video added to all the skate technique education.  It will most likely be in Orvis Meadow and adjacent hills as that will be where the best snow is. I have lots of great material to share that is the absolute latest from the World Cup and our top athletes. Email us at bvxc@sbcglobal.net to let us know your interest and to receive the pricing, itinerary, etc.The store will be open until May 8th, then we will close for two weeks. If you need a bike, kayak or SUP, let us know. We carry great lines and have some in stock for demo. Hope to play with you soon!

Here we are on April 27th and the weather is nice again. The snow is melting pretty fast now. The Bear Valley subdivision roads have opened up, Hwy 4 is open to the east end of Lake Alpine and road cyclists have begun riding the uncrowded pavement. Dianne and I had a great stand up paddleboard day with Sean and Jill from SNAC the other day. Lunch with waterfall view and shorts and t-shirt were pretty darn nice. We will keep you posted on the opening up of the various water and trail activities here, via emails and via Facebook. Visit and Like our Facebook page and join our email club if you want to receive the latest reports on Bear Valley Cross Country & Adventure Company. Happy Spring.
