Snow in Tahoe…
December 17, 2008
At last, there is snow in Tahoe. The storm started late last Friday night, but really got rolling Sunday and Monday. Now there is 18 or so inches at lake level and more than 3 feet in the mountains. This is great news for skiers, ski areas and the local economy.
I went out yesterday morning with Jeremy Benson, Jay Lynn and Adam Rucido to ski a lap on Sherwood. The snow was cold, light and deep. This made for fun, but slightly scary skiing, given that there is no base to speak of. One more storm will do the mountains well, but ski season has officially begun.
