It’s been snowing all week… areas of Lake Tahoe have reported as much as 8 feet of snow in the last 7 days. And just in time for the weekend… sunshine! Mostly sunny skies are expected over the Sierra Nevada this weekend.
Pack up the gear and head to mountains for waist deep POW. Conditions like this won’t last long. And if you miss it.. you might be waiting till next season.
So where has summer gone? I know it’s not over but the back to school sales are on, the college kids are heading back to campus and before you know.. winter will be here. With this in mind… it’s time to start thinking about that 2008 / 2009 Ski & Snowboard Season Pass.

Well this mild system is getting ready to move out of the Sierra… there is light chance of some isolated snow showers early today. For some mountain resorts its going out a bang… Kirkwood, Big Bear and Mt High receiving the most. All in all we added a foot or 2 in the mountains since the storm moved in Thursday. But a foot is a foot when you consider the upcoming California whitewater rafting season. Read more…
The Northern Sierra is getting hit once again. Fresh tracks can be found at any Tahoe mountain resort. It seems the 80 Cooridor and Truckee / North Lake Tahoe area.
As expected, a small weather system has come in off the Pacific resulting in scattered rain and snow showers. The system is expected to last through Sunday. Many area ski resorts are reporting small amounts of fesh powder.. adding to our above average snowpack.
So far the majority of the precipitation has been localized to the Truckee / North Lake Tahoe area.
Yet another glorious weekend of skiing and snowboarding awaits. As you may have noticed it’s been precipitating for the last few days… so that means fresh powder.
More and more snow. Still many resorts are not reporting. However conditions should be epic just about everywhere as this past weekend storm total left 2-5 feet of snow across the North & Central Sierra. The Southern Sierra received some snow with storm totals around 12 inches.
It’s Wednesday and we’re over the hump. The weekend is only a few days away. More importantly Big Bear, the central Sierra and the Tahoe Basin were blanketed again last night with more fresh powder…. Champagne Powder.
I lost track on how many powder days this is in a a row here in California…. it’s like 5 or 6 and there is still more snow in the forecast.
