Our cross country skiing guests enjoy an extensive trail system with 65 kilometers of groomed paths over 3,000 acres. We have 38 carefully groomed trails for track and skate skiing, a trailside Meadow Cafe, and three warming huts throughout the trail system. The 7,000 to 7,800 feet elevation guarantees first to open (usually mid-November) and last to close (usually mid-April) among the Sierra Nevada cross country centers.
Dogs are not allowed at the Bear Valley trailhead. However, we are working to open a new trailhead in Tamarack, 3 miles west of Bear Valley, which would allow dogs. Stay tuned for more details as this project will likely not occur until the Spring.
