Hello Skiers and Boarders, Lots of wind overnight accompanied by heavy rain. The rain has turned to snow this afternoon. It is snowing down to the Truckee River and sticking to everything. It has been snow quite heavily. Squaw is closed with the exception of a couple of beginner carpets that seem to be operating. …
Hello Skiers and Boarders, After a number of days of heavy snow and one day of closed terrain the sun took over handing us a spectacular day in which to enjoy some great skiing. We were not alone. Both Alpine and Squaw claimed the parking lots to be full. However, the lines were not really…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, The sun was shining out of a dark blue sky this morning. I was reminded that there is actually a color blue. Gray is back this afternoon with snow falling once again. We received two to three feet of snow overnight. Once again we were out shoveling front steps, decks, and…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, I did not have a chance to let you know how good the skiing was on Thursday. It was excellent. Alpine opened the High Traverse which was relatively untouched from our last storm cycle. We made a bunch of powder turns in the sunlight Thursday morning in the Sun Bowl and…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Cold overnight temperatures and a party cloudy day kept our snow in prime winter condition. Although much of the mountain was open yesterday including a late start for the Sherwood Lift, we found plenty of powder to disturb and lots of good cut up soft snow to ski. We found a…

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…
