About Bear Valley Mountain Resort

Pure Mountain Fun! 1,680 acres, 9 lifts, 1,900 vertical feet off an 8,495 ft base, about half an hour up from Arnold. The Grizzly Chair is the one to know about: basically backcountry, an ungroomed bowl (one groomed run, Snow Valley, is sometimes an option). It is served by a two-seat 1960s original chair that takes its sweet time, but is a great rest and OH THE VIEW. Because the Grizz drops to the lowest part of the mountain it isn't always open, but when it is, Bear Valley goes next level: lines stay minimal, and you'll want the slow ride back up after burning your quads on 1,200 vertical. Outside the Grizz it's wonderful for beginners, rarely crowded except holiday weekends, with room to spread out, and the glades and the Grizz keep it fun for experts too. Don't tell anyone you can find pockets of powder days after a dump in the glades. And there are so many glades. There's a Snow Play area for tubing and sledding with the little kids, and parking is free

Bear Valley's 2026-27 season pass prices go up November 1, so Saturday is the last day to buy at this fall's prices. An adult Base Pass is $629, the same as last October. The Cali Pass is $729 for adults and adds unlimited skiing at Dodge Ridge, China Peak and Mountain High, plus three days at each of 14 Powder Alliance resorts (some restrictions apply). Here's what waiting cost last year. That same $629 adult Base Pass was $679 by late November and $889 by mid-December. Young adult (13 to 22) and senior (70 to 74) Base Passes are $579 right now; last December they were $729. Kids 6 to 12 are $369 on the Base Pass. Two kids 5 and under ski free with each paying adult, and skiers 75 and up get the Base Pass free (both carry a $10 processing fee). College students 18 to 25 who buy the College Cali Pass as a crew of four or more pay $249 each. Buy on bearvalley.com. Prices are Bear Valley's own, checked October 27.
