- Cabin is snowbound with no auto access. Cross country, and adventuresome Downhill skiers, can ski right up to the cabin. Return transport to Downhill skiing is via shuttle bus, about 15 minutes walk from Cabin, then 15 minutes to the ski lifts. My cost is a bit higher than Tahoe, but there's no traffic, few cars, world class skiing with hidden treasures for Alpine, Nordic, Telemark, and Powder skiers, snowshoers, snowmobilers, Snowboarders, whatever.... Skiing home is priceless, and your stay can include a guided tour from the top of the ski lifts to the cabin door (suitable to strong skiers with good orientation skills. Some traversing and walking are part of the adventure) Call us at 415 779 2093 for the latest update on snow conditions, or to make a reservation.

The Powderbears Log Cabin is the perfect getaway. Rustic, charming, clean and comfortable the cabin is an ideal place for families and friends. The kids (and the big kids)love being able to sled, saucer and ski right outside the front door. I have been going to the cabin for 22 years both winter and summer- Phil is an incredible host- a living legend who is knowledgeable not only about the local area but also about skiing all over the world.
