We are in support, too!
Whether or not the BVMCoop ends up being the new owners, the coop is great to show the strength of the community behind the region and will make the resort more attractive to any buyer or skier.
Join and show your faith in our great region.
I went to the meeting in Arnold Sunday evening. I have to say these folks have put in a lot of work and seem to be on track to being the coop that is the next owner. I am buying one of the shares, because after all the years I have been complaining about how Bear was deteriorating and was unable to do something well now I can help Bear get greater again. But I know we have all seen our cabin values decline a lot, well only about 1/4 of the folks that used to come up to Bear do anymore. I believe some is economy but a bigger part is Bear is just run down. People go elsewhere. This group understands this and since it’s a non profit Coop they want to put all profits back into the resort. I think that even if a homeowner up here in the Hwy 4 corridor does not ski, Bear Valley resort adds to our worth of our investments in our cabins and therefor it is worthwhile to go to their website and read how your onetime investment of $2,500.00 in a share will help us all.

The Bear Valley COOP has started to accept members. See msg from Steve, the interim board member, below.
While we are not ready to publicly state our current numbers, I will say that we pleasantly surprised to see the orders flowing since the day we announced that we could officially sign up members about 10 days ago. I can say we are already into triple digits on our memberships and every day brings more.
We are confident that we will be able to reach our goals, but this will require the support of our community so I ask that you talk it up with your friends and neighbors who would also be interested and ask them to sign up now at http://www.bvmcoop.org/#!request-info/c6yi

You can read the article HERE.
There is a great article in Friday’s (2/21) Calaveras Enterprise titled “Residents look to control Bear Valley’s destiny”. To quote the article, “Bear Valley Mtn COOP was formed to give people in the area an opportunity to take control of their own destiny by providing a way to purchase the resort’s assets, including the extensive infrastructure on the mtn. leased from the U.S. Forest Service”. There is much more in the article. If interested, go to their website,
