Hello skiers,
Last night the temperature finally dropped into the teens and a little more snow fell out of the sky. This morning we saw a nice blue sky and the sun for the first time in awhile. Of course, so did everyone else who is in Tahoe. Alpine opened Summit before nine this morning, a very nice surprise. Those of us in line squeezed together to get on the first chairs. We were blessed with a
pristine mountainside covered in a blanket of new snow that was a few inches deep. Yahoos were heard this morning, as skiers and boarders left curves in the new snow.
The upper mountain is filling in nicely as a result of the last few wet storms, but the lower portion of the hill is still in need of assistance. We skied Gentian Gully this morning for the first time this season. It was exciting to be making fresh tracks through the trees in the upper 2/3rds of the run, however the bushes are thick at the bottom. The entire mountain, with the exception of the Sherwood side, was open today.
It was a happy morning of skiing for me today. Alpine was packed with people by the time I left, with all the parking lots full, and cars backed up toward Tahoe City trying to get in to the area.
All the lifts, with the exception of Yellow, Lakeview, and Sherwood were running today.
Another warm storm is predicted for Saturday night.
Enjoy your day. Andy
