    I have a relative who has a condo right there by the sled shop and rescue/firedepartment couple miles from the snopark.

    Can ride right out the condo ... if there is snow.

    And boy is there snow! There is 12 feet at the sled shop and all around the cabins and condos. They really got hit with snow this winter. Bear Valley is about 12.5 miles due south of Kirkwood. Highway 4 is being cleared for Memorial Day weekend and we talked to Caltrans and they are only getting about 1/4 mile a day and have 14 miles to go so they will probably not make it. But the heat is coming so that may help. With 4 closed we had to boondock around Alpine Lake and parallel 4 through the woods. Once on Hwy 4 the snow was awesome. We rode the Highlands area were there are incredible climbing areas. I guess the locals put their sleds away already as there were no tracks anywhere and we had great conditions. We couldn't believe how good the snow was. Bear Valley is definitely on our list to visit next winter.

    Anyone know how the snow is at Sherman? I would like to ride in June if it lasts....
