2009-03-26 17:06:05 Nice job on "Eye on the Bay" TV show. Good promo video piece. All BV'ers presented well. Good to see Dave and Kathy. —JohnDralla

2009-03-27 18:11:00 Definitely a good piece that KPIX did for their Eye on the Bay. I had to go online to see it though..... it needs to have fuller coverage..........It was as cozy and comfy and true as you can get. Truth be told about BV. I loved it. —SusiLewis

2009-03-27 18:12:41 Sorry, Tony I just say your msg from Dec.......ack! where was I? anyway... yes modems fry easily with surges, but now I have a beefy new surge protector/ups upgrade. My old one, was just that, old. Sometimes I wonder where my memory is, cuz I should have upgraded decades ago. —SusiLewis

2009-04-06 10:17:03 The 09-10 Season Passes for the ski area are on sale $299 (got mine). I was looking at the pricing for my 16 year old daughter and considering that, BUT what caught my eye was the "super senior" rate for over 75 - $39! I hope I'm still skiing at 75! Nick there are nice benefits to retiring! —BobRynd

2009-04-06 17:47:36 my dad was still skiing at 77. there is HOPE ! —SusiLewis

2009-04-06 19:10:52 $299 is pretty motivating actually... I for sure did not get my $450 worth of skiing this year. —TonyZuccarino

2009-05-22 10:52:43 Memorial Day is upon us. I'v heard the Forest Service Campgrounds are opening this weekend as well as Lake Alpine resort. Last weekend Lake Alpine was still covered 75% with ice - anyone for a refreshing dip in the water? But, Spicer was to open, probably Utica and Union Lake. I was up at Ebbetts Pass last Sunday(actually Tryon Peak) and could see that Highland Lakes were still very snowbound (as were the peaks around the lakes) —BobRynd

2009-05-22 16:18:15 None of our high country CG's are accessible yet...but Big Meadow, a bit of W Alpine, and maybe some at Silvertip, and of course, WakaLu . People are camping at Stan R CG, but no water pumps yet, no charge yet. Yes, can get to Ut/Un lakes,but is quite muddy in and around. Spicer is open. Thx for reminding me to do the update..You KNOW more than I? ha ha. —SusiLewis

2009-05-22 16:30:12 Actually Susi, I was proding you to do an update. —BobRynd

2009-07-27 08:40:49 MAS is having their Adventure Sports Festival over the course of the next few weeks. MTB - Grizzly Challenge coming up Aug. 15th, and the Ebbetts Pass Century on Aug. 29th. I missed the canoe/kayak fun this past weekend. Anyone join in the fun?

2009-09-21 13:05:16 Does anyone know when the campgrounds at Lake Alpine close for the season? Pine Marten and Marmot?(is Marmot the one at the west end of the lake?) —BobRynd

2009-09-23 13:27:39 I just looked: per the FS website, June - Oct. weather permitting —BobRynd

2009-09-28 17:40:55 BOB- we just closed everything today. BUT, West end is always 'open', just no water anymore, and only toilet is the vault one bordering the highway. Have to shut/drain all water eating appliances before freeze. All high country etc is 'closed' but rest room vault toilets are open, just bring your own TP. No water at well pumps either. Closing of HL road dependent on weather/snow and the County guys. Don't know about Spicer Res CG. Stan R is useable, but no TP services or water pumps. Busy day! —SusiLewis

2009-11-20 08:27:16 OK, It's Friday before the Thanksgiving Holiday week. BV has been making snow all week. There is a good storm coming in tonight - maybe a 12+ inches of snow. Does anyone know if Bear Valley Mountain Resort is going to open for limited skiing(Mokelumne West?), perhaps the weekend after Thanksgiving (1 week away)? No word from the mountain to any opening date. Anyone have any info? —BobRynd

2009-11-21 21:35:18 Bear Vally Makes Sunset Magazine. Wow. —NicoleTesterLewerke
