In winter homes in Bear Valley become snow bound. Residential roads close to car traffic and instead are groomed for snowmobile use! No piles of ugly dirty snow pushed to the road sides, just beautiful white and pristine no matter where you look.
Snow transforms Bear Valley! With an average of 30 feet per year snow management is taken seriously here. Roads become a one way system, parking lots have plowing schedules telling you when to move your car and we have a full snowmobile parking lot!
The childhood you wish you could have had!
With the re-opening of the school in 2018, Bear Valley once again became a feasible year round home for families with children in Preschool to K-5!
Busy Bears Preschool offers local children a warm and loving environment where kids play in the snow, walk to the lake or play on the granite boulders. Outdoor time is maximized and art and creative fun are taken very seriously!
Older kids graduated to the school, where a small class of mixed grades are tutored by a teacher and classroom assistant. Classes are outside as much as possible in the summers and focused on nature and learning! Don’t forget the ski trips as part of gym class!
