9 more inches fell in the last 24 hours, and the storm is stalling longer than most weather modules were showing. Yesterday the snow levels stayed relatively high, around 6,500 feet, so as you can imagine the snow was very heavy. The temperatures are a little cooler today and the snow levels seem to be closer to lake level, so the snow is a bit quicker than yesterday. Don’t get me wrong, it is still pretty heavy. We might have some cooler spring skiing ahead of us this week, partly cloudy skies most of the week with a little precipitation here and there.
You probably know, but we’ve seen a 9 day storm cycle, tomorrow’s accumulation totals might put us over the 100 inch mark for this storm system! This mark is measure at our Summit, but to put in prospective; Truckee CA’s record for a month of snow was 112 inches in December, back in 1992. It looks like we are doing pretty good so far, especially making just about everything skiable.
Hope to see you out here!

Could have above average precipitation for Jan. even if we had that bad start.

Here's hoping for some fresh pow!
