This guide has been developed to assist our Race Team athletes and their families in learning about recreational alpine ski racing programs at Bear Valley and the Far West Division of US SKI & SNOWBOARD. The goal of this guide is to make sure all our team participants understand how the programs work and are prepared to make the experience fun and rewarding. Like all youth sports, ski racers tend to start young. As they progress, the competition, training and equipment will tend to add intensity to the sport. We must remind ourselves that our young athletes race to have fun and develop their skiing skill for the life long experience and probably will not be the next Bode Miller or Julia Mancuso. That said, there may be a few of our young racers that have the ability and drive to make it to the highest level and they should be afforded every opportunity to realize the goal. Bear Valley Mountain Resort and Bear Valley SnowSports Foundation strive to support the needs of all our athletes in this regard. This Orientation Guide pulls information from a variety of sources to bring together information regarding various perspectives of ski racing.

  • Winter Sports Program Review
    Winter Sports Program Review USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region & California Ski Industry Association September 19, 2007 USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region and California Ski Industry Association 2007 Winter Sports Program Review Executive Summary With resorts having averaged 7.3 million visits per winter over the last decade, ski areas offer the single most popular primary activity for which people visit the National Forests in California. For many, winter sports provide their initial introduction to the National Forests and an opportunity to build appreciation for California’s unique environment. As partners, the Forest Service and ski industry share responsibility for the stewardship of our forest resources and we look forward to continuing to build a relationship based on cooperation, collaboration and mutual benefit in achieving our goals. In an effort to cultivate this partnership, Regional Forester Bernie Weingardt requested that Region 5 (R5) and the California Ski Industry Association (CSIA) conduct a joint programmatic review of the region’s winter sports program. The purpose of the review was to spotlight innovations, create plans for action, provide quality visitor experiences and settings, and spark new energy in the partnership. An interdisciplinary review team of Forest Service and industry personnel was established in October 2006. The team developed a thorough list of questions to analyze the current winter sports program. To gain first hand information, the team met with forest and ski industry personnel at ski areas that represented a cross-section of the region, varying in geographic location and size of operation. Three field reviews were conducted and included visits to the Stanislaus NF, San Bernardino NF, Angeles NF, Eldorado NF and the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.

  • The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California
    The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California Author’s Note: This article “The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California.” That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. By Lee Foster Soft, thick flakes of snow, falling at the rate of three inches an hour, greeted me as I skied cross-country along the Aspen Forest Trail at Bear Valley in California’s Sierra. The aspen and pine trees of the forest assumed a magical appearance, aspen branches stark against the white and pine branches bent almost vertical with the heavy snow. The grey sky of this major storm proved inviting, warm, and perfectly quiet, rather than ominous. Only the crunch of my skis, gripping the snow in the touring track, broke the complete stillness of the forest. In the good company of my two children, Karin and Paul, I savored the moment. For moments such as this, I knew, I had made cross-country skiing my winter sport of choice. I was not alone in choosing this sport. Cross-country or “Nordic” resorts flourish in the current winter sports travel picture across America, while downhill or “alpine” ski growth is flat. Industry observers estimate that there are about 10.7 million downhill skiers, 3.5 million cross-country skiers. After skiing at all the major cross- country resorts in California, added to my cross-country skiing in three other western states, I finally asked myself: what is the mystique of this sport that makes it so attractive? A pleasing mix of solitude and sociability characterizes the experience.

  • My Favorite Trails
    My Favorite Trails By Jeff Schloss One of the best things about my job as a cross country ski coach is that I have skied at most of the top XC ski resorts in the country. There are a lot of great trails out there but I can say, without a doubt, that the best nordic track skiing in the United States is right here in the Lake Tahoe area! With over 600 kilometers of groomed trails, spread out through six major resorts and several smaller areas, there is always something new to explore. What sets Tahoe skiing above the rest of the with a nice gradual climb through a small country is probably the quality of the canyon lined with Aspen trees. This is my grooming.
