Bear Valley






Clay and I have wanted to go snowboarding again for say I don't know 5 or 6 years. But, we got married and had 3 kids so it was a little difficult. But, now that we live out here on the West coast it was finally possible to hit the slopes :). Clay planned a trip for us out to Bear Valley (apparently it's where the "locals" go). He rented a cabin secluded in the woods at the top of a mountain. Mom came out for a visit and to go on our trip with us. So, we packed up Gammy, the 3 kids and the dogs and a LOT of stuff in our way cool mini van and headed out to Bear Valley. We knew we we would be in the woods but I don't think it hit home until we got there with how difficult it would be to get all of us and our stuff to the cabin. We hired someone to help us get to the cabin. Because...you can't just drive your car there, we had to ride snowmobiles to get to it. So, the man came with his snow mobile pulling a small boat and trailer and Clay had a snowmobile with a trailer. So, I road with the guy that picked us up with Cenley. Mom, Cooper and the dogs road in the boat and Clay and Cohen took the other snow mobile. Quite the adventure, but we made it! :)
We were able to just walk right outside our cabin to the perfect sledding hill and that is what we did a LOT every day. The kids and the adults LOVED it. Mobie loved the snow as well, she played hard in it. Switch slept most of the time in the cabin, because she can't get around very well, but she did enjoy the snow when she ventured out! I will post pictures of the sledding and continue the post later with the snowboarding! :)
