Looking southwest over Bear Lake from Bear Paw Ridge
Bear Valley is a residential community and ski area located in the California Sierra
south of Lake Tahoe and north of Yosemite. Bear Valley Residents, Inc. is a non-profit
organization formed for the benefit of Bear Valley property owners and to administer the
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of the New Subdivision. BVRI owns and maintains
two beaches at Bear Lake, publishes a periodic newsletter for members, and represents the
interests of Bear Valley residents on a variety of community and local governmental
issues.
BVRI BULLETINS:
-
The results of the second survey on home size are in. Of 426 ballots
sent out, 160 were returned with a "Yes" (change the CC&R's to restrict
house size) vote, 98 "No". 168 ballots were not returned. Changing the
CC&R's would require 214 votes. Since the votes to change were 54 short of
that number, the Board voted not to proceed with an official CC&R election
at this time. Click here for more information.
-
Bear Valley Mountain Resort will host two public scoping
sessions on future development of the ski area and how it will interface

information gathering of the communications committee. The Board as a whole is the core of
the phase 2 committee, but the committee is open to anyone and several people have already
signed up. The phase 2 committee will work with the information gathered to identify areas
of concern and make comments to the developers. If you want to be on the phase 2 committee
or if you have input for them, please e-mail bvri@goldrush.com.

along input received from the community. Click here to see what
