The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping & Renting Locally!
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/08/2019 03:43 PM
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.

Hey Good People!! 1,680 Acres of "Pure Mountain Fun" Awaits You in Bear Valley
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/06/2019 07:11 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! Warm overnight temps brought a mix of rain and snow with 3" of new snow falling in the last few hrs.and 6" in the last 24hrs. If the temps cool down today below the suggested high of 34F we could see snowfall in the 15"+ range as well as winds into the low 30' and gusts into the 40's. The surface gradient will tighten a bit today but tonight we should see the winds back off a bit as 30mph looks to be the max. 6-10" could fall tonight as well as another 5-11" by early Friday morning. With the initial warm front I suspect the snow totals will be on the lower end of the projections. With that being said, we have great coverage and conditions here at the resort and skiing/riding will be superb well into spring. March is lining up to be a snowy month also so Mother nature is delivering this season for sure! Don't forget about our 2 for 1 Tuesday’s and 50% off lift tickets for students and Emergency Responders. Come check out our Pure Mtn Fun as we have lots of it going on!
