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. This afternoon the temperature at the base of Alpine is 58 with the upper mountain registering 52. Early this morning we enjoyed a few nicely groomed runs off the Summit…
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…
