Bear Valley, CA – While many were eager to hit the slopes this Pre-Thanksgiving weekend, Mother Nature had other plans for Bear Valley Resort. Due to less-than-ideal snow conditions, the resort has announced a delayed opening day, now set for Friday, November 29th.
Despite the setback, the resort remains optimistic and is hard at work preparing for a fantastic season. The upcoming 10-day forecast shows promising snowfall, which should allow the snowmaking team to create the perfect base for a memorable winter experience.

Winterfest Weekend is still on and will kick off the season with a bang! The festivities will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brand-new Cub Chair, live music, giveaways, and delicious food and drink specials
