The 2019 Snowmobile Drag Races
Arialle Hess
This calendar year is packed with new and improved events at Bear Creek Mountain Resort, but amongst them is one particular event that doesn’t always get its perennial glory; the Snowmobile Drag Races. Due to snow conditions and weather circumstances, these races don’t always happen. Spring hits early and the slopes …
The Pursuit of Paradise

Rossignol’s entry-level ski every novice should try.
When it comes to beginner skis, technology has come a long
way. Skiing wasn’t always the easiest sport to learn, but
thanks to the piste pioneers, it is much more fun for beginners.
Rossignol’s 2018/2019 P100 novice alpine ski was new to the
Bear Creek rental fleet this December. Over the past three months,
many first-time skiers came to Bear Creek and, unknowingly, rented
a worthy contender of “best beginner ski.”
Rossignol Pursuit 100/200 Ski
Level: beginner/intermediate
Terrain Type: piste (groomed)
Retail Price: $500
With modern advancements, skis now come in all different
shapes and sizes. The rental P100s (or retail P200s) are far from
your parents’ toothpicks in both aesthetics and

Type-A-personality laid corduroy, slashing its perfection and
leaving your track. But if sliding down the slopes is overrated for
you, then you will want to check out the Calendar of Events for
some awesome winter events, enjoyed by both spectator and
participant.

What's New for the 18/19 Winter Season
Arialle Hess
New for the 2018-2019 ski season is the role Bear Creek is
playing in the winter sports industry. The resort has a strong
local community; however, Bear Creek wants to increase interest in
mountain sports outside the area. The outreach efforts of the team
have paralleled the new 18-19 pricing in hopes of making skiing and
riding more accessible and affordable to families.
