Hello skiers,
Summer seems to be taking over the Tahoe area, but a few days of skiing remain for those of you who can never get enough. Temperatures have been warm during the days, into the high sixties and seventies, with overnight temperatures in the forties. This morning the snow had not frozen, but it is condensed and not rotten off piste and smooth on the groomed areas between 8 and 9:30. We skied a couple of groomed runs early before venturing into the sun cupped off piste portions of the mountain. Days of warm sun have created smaller moguls on many of the Summit Chair slopes. I skied Palisades, Sunspot, Peril Ridge, D7, D6, D8, and The Face this morning along with Blue and Red Trails. Although, some skiers and riders might not find the soft spring conditions to their liking, as they can be sticky and slow, or deep and mushy, but today the slow turns I made in the sun cupped smaller moguls consistent and fun. The closer we got to ten o’clock the sticker (especially in the flats at the lower elevations) the snow became and the softer and deeper the skis dipped into the surface. There is plenty of snow remaining on the mountain to ski from top to bottom. Although the skies are clear and beautiful this afternoon, our weathermen are calling for clouds overhead with possible showers on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures are supposed to dip dramatically with increasing winds over the weekend. It should be an interesting finish to the season.
By the way, real estate is still moving along nicely in Alpine with just a few listings currently available in the $389,000 to $1,710,000 price range. I do have a new 3 bedroom townhouse listing near the slopes for $450,000 and a fantastic 4 bedroom home with 3 car garage on the market at $1,710,000.
Enjoy your day. Andy
