Bear Valley, CA…Join us for our BIGGEST party of the year! Prepare your best 80s retro ski gear, your dancing shoes, and get ready for a day of fun! If you’re new to our pond skim event, the aim is to glide across our man-made pond on skis or snowboard without taking a tumble, although falling is half the fun!

Registration will be open from 9 AM to 10:30 AM in the sunroom. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis. You must register in person, space is limited and participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent to sign a waiver. The Pondskim kicks off at 12:30pm.

We’re thrilled to team up with the Bear Valley Parents Group (https://www.bearvalleyparentsgroup.com/) to bring you the Brewfest portion of the event. The Brewfest will showcase a range of beer and wine selections. All proceeds from the Brewfest will go towards supporting the Busy Bears Playschool and Bear Valley Summer Day Camp!
The Parents Group will be stationed outside the Bear Bungalow, serving beer and wine from 12 PM to 3 PM.
Plus, 805 beer is joining us!
