Forecasts are showing another system moving into the Tahoe Region during the middle of next week and is expecting to deliver some of that wonderful white snow. We could potentially see a couple of feet between Tuesday and Thursday next week. Forecasts are saying we should be seeing six to twelve inches on Wednesday alone at the Summit. I can't wait for more powder! It has been such a great season and it is not over yet, Miracle March is most definitely delivering us another fresh helping. I don't know if any of you have kept track of the snowfall the last 4 years but the last few years but we've seen abundant snowfall between March twentieth and the first of April, this year is looking no different. I'll keep you posted as the storm moves closer to the region.
Would you like a helpful hint that will probably make your day on the hill a little more enjoyable? We are experiencing very cold temperatures at night and increasingly warming temperatures throughout the day, this causes variable conditions. When the highs are in the low fifties during the day and the overnight lows are in the teens, the snow surface tends to freeze and make for some fast skiing or riding. During the next couple of weeks, I would really recommend grabbing a grooming map, following the sun, and take the groomed trails to warm up for the day. I advise starting on the Tahoe Zephyr Lift and take two or three runs on that side of the mountain because that is where the sun hits first. Once your feeling a little warmed up, maybe cruise up Comstock Express and take West Ridge or Ax Handle back down to Comstock around ten in the morning. Trust me, you'll thank me later. After your getting back off the lift again check out Grouse Alley, it is a wide and fun run, especially when groomed overnight. If you are feeling up to it, check out Challenger on the Backside around eleven, the skiing tends to be great in that area around that time. From there the choice is yours, the rest of the mountain should be warming up to the sun. Just remember with such varying temperatures to "FOLLOW THAT SUN." Be sure to check out the video for your enjoyment, I took all the footage within the last week. Check back soon for another update, you know where I'll be.
