First day boarding



Okay, so that's not a snowboard picture, but how great is it anyway?

We hit Bear Valley on New Year's Eve, and had a great time. Yes, it was crowded, we got into the parking lot at about 9:30 and it was already filled within sight of the sand shed. But the snow was decent, and in fact it can be pretty fun when there isn't a huge base. All of the stumps and rocks make nice drops and kickers and there was enough snow to cover most everything. The lower mountain (Grizzly Bowl) was open, but I don't go down there unless there is a ton of powder. It's very exposed, so the snow tends to blow off the slope, and what does stick tends to get very heavy in the sun and warmer altitude.
