Since Labor Day Weekend, the weather has been some of the finest Fall conditions in memory. Mostly sunny with warm days, cool nights, and a few rain events to keep things fresh. With an El Niño headed our way, it's sure to be an exciting winter ahead.

Fall is in the air, and our fingers are crossed that the recent rain over Labor Day Weekend is enough to keep the forest moist and able to dampen any wildfires. These recent rains have also refreshed the trails for outstanding mountain biking, hiking, and trail running.

Summer finally arrived, and the Bear Valley Adventure Company welcomes one of the finest seasons of the year! It doesn't matter if you choose to venture on the trails, lakes, meadows, roads, courts, or rocks or visit for the live music, enjoy a good book, or stargazing; nothing compares to the warm days and cool nights of Bear Valley in the summer.

The Bear Valley Adventure Company (BVAC) is excited for summer! Now is the time to enjoy the many adventures Bear Valley offers, such as hiking, biking, boating, fishing, camping, glamping, rock climbing, disc golf, tennis, pickleball, trail running, and star gazing.

Snap, and just like that, winter wraps up, and it's full steam ahead to summer.  Looking back, this was one of the longest cross country ski, snowshoe, sled, and tubing seasons that started on November 12, 2022, and continued through Memorial Day Weekend on May 29, 2023. 

Spring has sprung! Meanwhile, winter weather returns in early May, and that's excellent news at BVAC, as we plan to continue skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and tubing for as long as possible.

The winter storms keep rolling through with no end in sight. As a lifelong snowsports enthusiast, half of me says, "Bring It," while the other half says, "Whoa, Nelly."

It's a winter wonderland in Bear Valley! This season's bountiful snowpack enables the Bear Valley Adventure Company (BVAC) to expand sledding and tubing hills, plus groom 100% of our ambitious trail system.

Early snowstorms always serve as a chilly reminder of all the chores required before winter, and this year proved no different. We wrapped up several summer projects at the Bear Valley Adventure Company just before the snow. As a result, …

Fall is in the air, and thankfully very little wildfire smoke too. But, can you hear the proverbial knocking on wood? In addition, a significant rain event in the second half of September deposited 4+ inches of water and revitalized the trails for prime hiking and mountain biking.

While writing this article just before Labor Day Weekend, the Bear Valley Adventure Company (BVAC) braces for a major heatwave.

Another classic Bear Valley summer is underway where the days are long, the nights are cool, the trails are open, and the lakes are comfortable for swimming. This is a special time when the living is easy, …

Summer has arrived ahead of schedule, and the Bear Valley Adventure Company (BVAC) is ready to recreate. Bikes, boats, fishing, hiking, and so much more are in stock and ready to support your next adventure.

The proverb "April showers bring May flowers" rarely applies to Bear Valley at 7100 feet; however, this year may be the exception.

Our last day of groomed cross country and snowshoe trails rapidly approached on April 3rd, 2022. Looking back at the winter season, October brought a couple of teaser snowstorms before returning to Indian Summer for November and early December.

The cycle of seasons is constant, and the month of March this year arrives with snow on the ground, plenty of sunshine, and all the ingredients of a classic Sierra Nevada spring ski and snowshoe season.

The bountiful snowfall of December set up January to be a spectacular winter sports month, and indeed January delivered! Winter operations are rolling at 100%, then a little extra during peak business periods.
