My name's Andrew Harwood. I'm possibly the most distant of regular ourbv.com readers, hailing from Wallingford CT and currently up at grad school at Boston College in Chestnut Hill MA, where I am pursuing a Master of Science in Accounting degree (MSA). I've been coming to Bear Valley consistently once or twice per winter since 1995 however to ski and visit my uncle and family. I often say that I ski in Bear Valley more than I do on the east coast, which is very true. There is just no comparison to the conditions on the west coast vs. the east. Plus, as we all can appreciate, BV is just a special place, the likes of which don't exist out here either. Can't wait to come back out for winter break 2010-2011!
