Bear Valley - California
 

My family is trying to plan a trip to the snow for a few days after Christmas...... We do not ski (however, my son would like to maybe try some snowboard lessons). The Tahoe area is booked (and out of our price range). Any suggestions / comments on Bear Valley (especially places to stay)? I know absolutely nothing about it.... I saw a bumper sticker today and thought I would investigate the area a bit. Thanks.

Do you mean <b>Big Bear Valley</b> in the San Bernardino Mtns?

I'm sure abrian means what s/he said -- Bear Valley. It is a resort on hwy Hwy 4 in the central Sierra.

Sorry but I haven't been to Bear Valley in about 15 years so can't really give current info/advice. Is really good for Snowboarding//snowmobiling. There are lots of nice homes and a lodge.

Yes. Bear Valley off of Hwy 4 (in the SF Bay Area). Thanks.

>>(in the SF Bay Area)<<

Not what you could call the Bay area. About 3.5 to 4 hours from San Francisco.

JanisJ - you've got me beat. I haven't been to Bear Valley in 30 years!!! Sorry abrianthodges, I can't help you out.

:) I ask you, HOW can we be 25 yo if we went to Bear Valley 30 years ago? Huh?
