Hello Skiers and Boarders, There are not many mornings when I just quit after one run, but I attempted to do exactly that this morning. I rode Summit at 8am with a handful of other patrons. The trip down was on firm uneven groomed snow. It was not pleasant. I venture off piste a little…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, What’s up with out weather? It is still snowing in the Sierra and it is May. We received 6 or 7 inches of snow overnight making it a powder morning at Alpine Meadows. The mountain was in a cloud all morning making the light flat. Opening was slightly delayed from 8…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, There were some high clouds overhead this morning. Overnight temperatures dropped below freezing as they have been the last few nights. I never made it over to Squaw this week, but friends tell me the skiing was very good. This morning the skiing was excellent. We skied from about 8:45 to…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Boy do I love spring skiing. Today was a near perfect day for spring skiing. It was not hot, but there was plenty of blue overhead. It was mixed with gray clouds. We had a couple of really nice runs on South Face. Smooth corn snow. A few on Lakeview including…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Happy Easter to all of you. Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day in Tahoe. Today clouds covered the area and rain showers fell in a sporadic manner. We did venture out this morning and found some very nice corn snow on the groomed runs. The cooler air and winds…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, It is warm in Tahoe today. Sunshine dominated the sky, although we did have a period of high overcast for awhile.

Hello Skiers and Boarders, It was another chilly morning on the slopes with partly cloudy skies and a good breeze blowing. I waited until 11:30 to hit the hill for a few runs. It just seemed as if the snow would have been firm early. A friend, Jim C., who skis most days ran into me mid-morning…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, What a crazy day it has been this Tuesday April 9, 2019. It rained pretty hard last night, but when I woke this morning it was snowing. A dusting for sure with just a bit more on the mountain. By 9am the sun was shining and the sky mostly blue with…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Attached are a couple of photos I took this morning from the top of Roundhouse. Flat light, low clouds, and a firm groomed surface. It actually snowed a couple of inches overnight allowing for some soft turns on low angle slopes, but there was rubble from the previous day underneath the…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Our sky is again gray with temperatures this afternoon ranging from 35 at the ridge top to 42 at the base area. I did not ski today, but a couple of friends indicated it was firm in the morning and did not really soften much until noon. Neither of them was very…
