Hello Skiers and Boarders, Friday night it rained a little at the 6500 foot level. Friday morning wet snow fell down to the Truckee River, although roads remain clear, but wet this afternoon. It actually snowed about 6 inches on the hill overnight. It was wet snow and more wet snow dropped from the sky…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, It is pretty gray today as a cloud cover has moved into the Tahoe Area. Temperatures remain in the low thirties to high thirties on the mountain with winds at the ridge blowing at 50 miles per hour late this morning. The past few days have been perfect sunny spring weather…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, It was another perfect day in Tahoe this January 23, 2019. An excellent winter surface covered most of the mountain again today as temperatures overnight remained cold. It did warm up this afternoon, but not too much. All the north facing slopes have a nice soft winter surface. D7, D8, Sisters…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, If you were on the hill today, you left with a big smile on your face. The parking lots appeared to be full yet the lift lines were not as bad as one might have expected. The entire mountain was open (with the exception of High Traverse) which spread people out…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Saturday was a wet day at Alpine. Low cloud cover with off and on drizzle. Snow conditions were not very good on most of the mountain and terrible on some part of the hill. Gentian Gully was reported to be terrible. Wet snow that made for very difficult skiing conditions. Some…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, I do not feel bad this afternoon for having missed the opening bell at Alpine or Squaw. Cardiac Rehabilitation Class got in my way, but based on the photos of skiers and boarders waiting in line at Roundhouse I did not miss very much. I did get onto the slope a…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, We have a real snow storm going on this afternoon. It is snowing down to the Truckee River at a steady pace. It has not been really cold today. I can tell because my rear end was wet when I quit skiing this afternoon. Snow began dropping lightly around 9 this morning and…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, What a perfect day! It was cold overnight and lasted most of the day. The high temperature at the base of Alpine rose to 35 degrees. This near freezing temperature kept the surface in winter condition. It was especially true of the north facing slopes and the early morning groomed runs. …
Hello Skiers and Boarders, After watching water drop from the sky most of yesterday I was a little leery of heading up to the mountain this morning. We did receive snow overnight and clouds were moving on to the east, but the mixture of rain and snow followed by a night of temperatures in the…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Warm air flowed into the area this morning. The sky was a mixture of blue and gray. Our snow that was soft and creamy (a combination soft well wind-packed snow off piste and creamy snow on piste) in the morning became sticky in the late morning. A rather spring like day….
