B.V.S.C. President Mark Woltering’s Message
Hello Members and Friends of the Bear Valley Ski Club! The Bear Valley Ski Club is going strong with over 100 members. Here are some exciting plans for the 2026/ 2027 ski season including travel to the Dolomites and Italy land tour (Sorrento, Naples and Rome). The Dolomites are located in Northern Italian Alps near Austria and was the site of the 2026 Winter Olympics. This premier year-round destination offers world class skiing and the renowned Sellaronda, the world famous ski circuit encircling the massive Sella Group of mountains, traversing four mountain passes (ski loop 44 km, 27 miles). We are excited to announce our third trip to the Dolomites, a destination that remains a consistent favorite among our members. For more information on this travel opportunity, see below..

Banff 2026 Ski Trip Experience (68 participants)
The Banff “Ski Big 3” trip offered an expansive adventure for all skill levels within a historic UNESCO World Heritage site. From top-tier skiing to a refreshed downtown home base, here is the summary of the experience:
The Sunshine, Lake Louise and Norquay boasts 7,748 skiable acres, 32 lifts, and 361 runs. In 2026 Ski Magazine ranked Banff Sunshine #2 and Lake Louise #15 in the West. Lake Louise also holds the #1 spot for scenery. The group enjoyed ideal weather with temperatures in the low 30s°F and nightly snow dustings.
The town of Banff founded in the 1880’s is flanked by iconic peaks like Cascade Mountain and Mount Rundle. Its historic western architecture and stunning vistas were described as “reminiscent of Aspen 50 years ago.
The Banff Park Lodge was the perfect location with the ski resort bus pickup/drop off directly in front of the lodge and steps away from a historic pedestrian-friendly town center featuring over 135 restaurants. Travel was seamless via a direct flight from SFO to Calgary, followed by a 1.5-hour bus ride. An hourly SkiBig3 resort bus provided easy mountain access from the hotel. Fortunately, the Banff weather conditions were ideal in the low 30’ F with light snow dusting in the evenings.
Banff was world class skiing with a very affordable 6-day ski lift passes ranging from $380.00 (senior) to $524.00 (adult). Where can you ski in the USA for this price point!
There was an overwhelming request to consider Banff in the future.
