Bear Valley, CA….As the bull-wheels came to a stop and the end of the 18-19 winter season came to a close we stopped by Bear Valley. It was a great season with almost 500 inches of snow that will feed our streams and lakes and make this summer a great one. Now the race is on to get the passes open as soon as possible for the summer. Below is a bit of video from just after closing time yesterday. After stopping at Bear Valley we headed to the closure point on Hwy 4.
