Well it is finally here!

It was another very anticipated start with the teases from Mother Nature, but the season has finally started at Bear Creek. With 5 inches of natural snow Saturday and a few full nights of snowmaking Bear Creek was ready to open Sunday, December 30 with 4 trails and 3 lifts.

The crowds steadily moved in all morning, not sure if it was the beautiful weather, the anticipation to ride or the $10 lift tickets.  The trails quickly filled up and Bear Creek had to open up A chair to help with the crowds at the lifts.  For an opening day things could not have gone any better.

Today is day two of the season, and conditions are even better, with another night of snowmaking Bear Creek was able to open more terrain and F Chair. The season is really turning around quickly. What better way to enjoy the season and ring in the New Year than skiing and riding. Bear Creek will be hosting a New Years Eve party tonight, complete with fireworks at 9:45 to ring in the new year. The slopes will be open till 1AM so get that chance to ride right into 2013 or just sit by the fire and enjoy music from a rocking DJ in the lodge, or have a few drinks at the Ice Bar. Whatever you choose to do make sure that you have a great holiday and stay safe tonight.
