Local ski resorts await arrival of more snow
Activity is picking up this week at area ski resorts despite the lifts remaining idle. Thanksgiving week is traditionally when many local ski resorts aim to open. Bear Valley Resort up Highway 4 in Alpine County had initially announced intentions to open this coming Friday. However, the resort now reports, “Due to mother nature not cooperating with us and keeping things warm, our snowmaking has been slowed, and despite giving our best efforts, we will not be able to open for skiing and riding this Thanksgiving weekend. At this time, we do not have a projected opening date.”
