47 Annual Bjornloppet XC Ski Race


The Bear Valley Adventure Company is excited to host the 47th Bjornloppet XC Ski Race on Saturday, February 8th and Sunday, February 9th, 2020! This event is the longest-running cross country ski race in California and is a special opportunity to test your skills on some of the most scenic trails in California. All ages and abilities welcome.

A common question is how serious is this race? The Bjornloppet is a ski race and competition near the front of the pack is real. However, further back in the pack, there are many skiers who focus on the challenge of the day, and the adventure of skiing some of the best trails in Bear Valley. Regardless of your intentions, all abilities and all levels are welcome and we encourage skiers to participate.
