Bear Creek for Beginners

[johnnyman]

My sons, 11 and 8, and I have just really taken up skiing. We've been out to Blue a few times, and just spent 2 days at Pico, keeping to the greens, but past the beginner/school trails.

 

I'd like to get some opinions on the green trails at BC, as well as how it compares to Blue (for our level). We've enjoyed Blue, but it sounds like BC might have lighter weekend crowds, and less ice. I'd appreciate any help.

BC has just as heavy if not heavier crowds at peak times but it is definitely less icy. I think your crew would really enjoy themselves at BC because the blue trails are quite a bit easier than the ones at Blue which means you would have more to choose from. The greens are about the same if not a tiny bit easier so that would be about the same. If you are going to ski on the weekends I would suggest that you get there as close to open as possible since the lift lines can get pretty bad. Hope you have a good time.

Sounds perfect. We usually get on the road in time for the open. Thanks
