Until Next Time…

Bear has called it a season but we still have Summit this weekend! I know how you all feel about Bear though. Bear is like a second home to me and I know there are a lot of local riders, loyal weekend riders, employees, and fans that practically live at the mountain as well. It’s like a haven from reality; a place where we can forget about everything and focus on the most important things in life, like happiness. I’ll never forget my years as a snowboarder and I’m really happy that Bear Mtn and everyone that makes it what it is will be a part of all my memories. The snow, the good times, the new friends, and the one of a kind snowboarding, all thanks to our friend Bear Mtn. All in all, it was an amazing season and on behalf of the mountain… thanks! Thanks to everyone for making this all possible!

Hey, Don’t Be Sad; Let’s Celebrate!

Well, it looks like we’re coming up on our last couple blogs since today is Bear’s last day of the season. I know it’s a bummer, but look at the season we had; an opening date in October, 12-feet of natural snow, and a park for the history books. Glancing back, it feels like December was like a year ago. There was so much going on with all the events and powder days, it’s hard to think it’s been almost six months since the beginning. There were a couple of storms where we we’re taking waste deep turns! Long story short, we had an amazing season, and now it’s time to celebrate. Let’s make the most of our last day and let’s send Bear off the right way. See you on the deck!! Oh and midweek riding is not out of the question, we’ll see you on Ego Trip and Westridge this week at Summit right?
