Stuck at the Grizzly lift chair

After we made it through Snow Valley, we got stuck for 2 hours at the Grizzly chair which broke down.
Bear Valley gave us free drink and lift chair tickets.

Skier and boarder killing the time at the Grizzly chair.


They made us walk to the next lift chair but it took them a very long time to make it work.
Note the Telemark skiers on the back ground. They usually go down way left and low and hike up to the lift chair.

Bear Valley epic day

Since Monday was a day off for the kids, we decided to check out Bear Valley slopes. We found the ski resort covered by almost a foot of fresh powder with no body in sight.
We started slowly by going down the lower mountain following the snow valley track. After few runs, we headed to the Grizzly and made an epic descent.

Grizzly has only black diamond runs which cannot be groomed.
