Bear Valley, CA…Cal Band Weekend Recap + Winter Explosion Ahead

Yesterday was a high-energy day on the mountain as the Cal Band skied and rode down Cub Meadow, along with two additional performances across the resort. Their energy always brings something special to the hill, and it continues to be one of our favorite weekends of the season. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the mountain!
Looking ahead, our annual Winter Explosion: Torchlight Parade & Fireworks Show returns Saturday, January 17th. The day features Murphys on the Mountain and Never Summer demos on the Sundeck, followed by a DJ set from Disco Cowboy from 3–7 PM once the lifts stop spinning the party continues with the torchlight parade (participants ski/ride down the hill with torches lighting up the sky) followed by the fireworks show! Visit our Events page for full details, schedules, and sign-ups.
Don’t forget to take advantage of our Midweek Stay & Ski Special and ticket pack deals, great ways to save BIG this Winter!
