A Huge Storm is rapidly making its way to the Sierras and is predicted to drop 2 to 3 feet of snow by tomorrow night. We are expecting to see snow start falling around 4:00pm this afternoon and it is supposed to keep dumping until 10:00pm Sunday night. I hope you have your powder skies ready to go because you’ll need them this weekend for sure. Here at Northstar we live by the motto, “more skiing and less wind hold.” Especially with the 100mph gusts we are expecting to see over the ridges this afternoon and Sunday. The high winds mixed with heavy snowfall will make for very low visibility at times on the road. The skiing will most definitely be nothing short of epic this weekend, but I do encourage everyone coming up to keep a close eye on Current Road Condtions and Current Weather Conditions. If you decide to tear into the deep fresh snow this weekend please be safe on the roads and give yourself extra time for travel. I not only recommend but insist you carry a flashlight, tire chains, water, food, and a blanket or sleeping bag just in case the inevitable does happen. Do you want a few helpful powder safety hints? Check out our Powder Safety Tips, you might find them helpful. I hope you get a chance to come check out the snow sometime this week. Trust me you won’t want to miss out on the new snow we’ll be seeing in Tahoe. You can find me on Lookout this weekend, waist deep in powder. See you on the hill!
