Randonee Race at Bear Valley
Randonee racing is a competitive form of ski touring that has been popular in Europe for decades. Participants compete in a timed event where they must move through a course comprised of ascents (requiring skins and boot packing) and traditional ski descents on varied terrain.
Although there are many events throughout the country, Bear Valley is the only place on the West Coast to host a race on the USSMA calendar this year -the “BV Randonee Series”. Anyone who is willing to test their ability to ski, skin and climb is welcome to participate in this rapidly growing sport.
Using alpine touring or telemark bindings (or even “split” snowboards), racers will start at the Village, ascend using climbing skins, all the way to the top of Mt. Reba and descend down it’s face. From there they will climb through a demanding bootpack section on the ski area’s lower mountain and finish back at the Village. During the course the competitors will cover close to 3,500+ vertical feet of challenging natural terrain. In the event of having good number of participants we are going to provide two courses and split the participants in two classes: recreational and pro. In the event of severe weather, alterations to the course may be made.

In the Valley Springs community, artists will be joined by students, churches, local businesses and individuals painting & designing bowls. Guests will choose a bowl that day to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Pay for your bowl. It's just $15, in exchange you will receive a simple lunch of soup and bread.
