We're Expecting Some Snow This Weekend

A cold front is making it's way across the Sierras and is expected to drop at least a few inches of new snow through Sunday night.  The snow levels are relatively high right now, but are expected to drop overnight so we can expect to see some of the precipitation actuall y sticking to the ground.  We've been experiencing mixed precipitation all day, rain in the Village and snow on the mountain, nothing incredibly substantial although.  This storm approaching could potentially bring a fresh foot of snow to the Northshore area of Lake Tahoe by the end of the weekend, so keep those fingers crossed.  We will be experiencing below normal temperatures for this time of the year, so if that cold front coming in retains most of it's moisture, there is a chance we'll see more snow than anticipated.  I'll keep you posted with the weather and try to update this blog tomorrow when we know whats to become of this system, so be sure to check back.

Remember if you heading up this weekend to bring a waterproof shell at least and probably some warm clothes just in case. Forecast's are saying this weekend is going to be cold and windy, just one more reason to be prepared, the skiing will primarily be spring like, but it is always better safe than sorry.  I know you've hear me say it before but, less wind hold more skiing here at Northstar Resort.  If you need a great spring jacket or just some new ski gear, I would check out  the shops in the Village, there is some great sales happening right now.  I couldn't resist some of the sales, like nice goggles under sixty dollars at Butterbox, you can't beat that.  The Brazilian Carnival is going on tomorrow, there will be five dancers in the Village putting on performances at two, three, and four in the afternoon.  After the dance performances Samba Da will be entertaining everyone with their high energy Afro-Brazilian Samba Funk Dance music.  If your up here tomorrow it is definitely a entertaining and memorable experience.  Don't miss out on the Highest Ollie Competition in Front of Butterbox on Saturday at three in the afternoon.  I'll be out there enjoying the barbecue, hanging out with friends, and throwing down some ollies, you should come join me and everyone else.  I'll try to have a video ready for you all really soon, keep checking in and as always let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.  See you on the hill!
