The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping & Renting Locally!

Arnold, Murphys & Sonora, CA...The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping Locally! Back in the early 90’s, when Shawn was selling out of the back of his truck as “The Eddy Mart”, the most important items to have on hand were life jackets, river shorts, sandals and river knives. Oh yes, and a few things the rafting customers would want, t-shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc. It became obvious that The Eddy Mart was getting too big to operate out of a garage when the whitewater kayaks came. It was time for a storefront. That’s when providence arrived on the scene.

Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! A beautiful bluebird day is ahead with cool temps and some more awesome pow riding! After a storm recovery day on Tuesday we reopened yesterday with copious amounts of deep pow riding on the frontside. Today we look to bring the backside and lower mtn online. The backside is slated to open by 10am and the lower mtn by 11am but it’s possible it could be sooner. With 85” over the last 5 days Ski Patrol has been working diligently to bring things online in the Grizz. Today will be that day! Please give a shout out to all Mtn. Ops Teams you see today as everyone has been doing an incredible job during this storm cycle! Ride with a partner as the tree wells all over the resort are deep from the recent snowfall so it’s a good idea to ride with a friend. California snow storms have once again delivered and looks to do so again come this Friday night through the weekend where we could see1-2’ of new snowfall. The season is firing on all cylinders so come check us out as Hwy 4 is the easiest access to any resort on the Western Sierra Slope. Remember, we’re about “Pure Mtn Fun” so come check us out!
