Bear Valley Back Country Ski

Brian convinced Jeff and I that it would be a good idea to back country ski at Bear Valley. Since we did not have any experience with that type of terrain, we register at MAS for a day trip. Steve was our talented guide. Patty, Brian, Steve chose to telemark while Jeff opted for a special binding on his Alpine ski and I for my snowboard and snow shoes.

We started at 9:00 AM and hiked up to the top of the mountain before we cruzed down hill in this beautiful setup.
