| Spring Has Sprung | ||
Warm days and cold nights mean great spring conditions for "off-season" skiing and snowboarding adventures in Bear Valley. Right now the spring corn is excellent for those tough enough to "earn their turns". Above 8000 feet there is tons of snow which will be serving spring corn for at least another month. The longer and warmer days of May are also making the prospects of mountaineering and rock climbing more appealing. Check out the MAS calendar and see if anything suits your palette. Keep in mind that you can always book a private instruction or guided adventure to match your own schedule and specific needs. |

Thanks for the great "Introduction to Mountaineering" Course last year. My friend and I were able to summit Shasta and have a nice 2000-foot glissade down Avalanche Gulch thanks to the ax/crampon techniques we learned (Owen Randell - May 2006)
MAS is still offering 1-2 day mountaineering training programs in Bear Valley on May 26-29 and June 8-11.
