Get ready because here it comes! The 10 day storm cycle will be hitting Tahoe Sunday, with rapid accumulation expected Late Sunday through Wednesday. 1 to 2 feet is in the daily forecast for 4 days, starting Sunday!!! Beyond that is another 6 days of storm cycles that could potentially drop as much or more snow as we are expecting by Wednesday. We are talking possibly 6 to 12 feet within the next two weeks! The powder skiing will be epic, but be ready for blizzard conditions with ridge gusts up to 100mph. I encourage everyone to have awinter preparedness kit at home and in their vehicle. This storm has the potential to knock out power, close roads, etc., I hope everyone gets up here for the great snow, but please remember to take extra time and get here safely!
Come on out tonight for the Olympic Heritage Rail Jam at the base of the Big Springs Gondola. The set-up looks fun and in a great location for spectators, so get here early and grab a good seat by the Chocolate Bar. Be sure to see what B.A. has to say about this storm, I am really looking forward to some serious powder days!
See ya soon,
Chris
So...can we find out via the blogs about the back-country areas Sawtooth and White Rabbit?? Sure would like to do them this year after this heavy dump...

That is a great point! I'll check out White Rabbit and Sawtooth on Wednesday if we are able to open that off piste area. If blizzard and visibility conditions are too minimal, Ski Patrol more than likely will keep it closed for safety reasons. Great Suggestion, I'll get over there and get some video as soon as I'm able to.
