Bear Valley
Bear Valley is located on California Highway
4, about two hours drive east of Stockton. Bear Valley ranks itself as a
"mid-size" ski area, the 8th largest in California. Bear Valley has been using
low lift ticket prices to attract California skiers away from the Tahoe area. Most of the
best advanced skiing is located on the lower-half of the mountain (the parking lot and
main lodge are at the middle of the mountain at 7,750'.) This usually means that advanced
skiers will get bored here if the lower lifts are closed, a common occurrence during early
and later parts of the season (or whenever there has not been much snow.)
