And Now Comes New Years

We made it through Christmas with great joy and good weather. Santa came by on his yearly visit and, as far as we know, didn’t get stuck in any chimneys.
Next up is the celebration of the new year.  Things on the horizon point to 2010 being a very challenging and interesting year. One we’ll not [...]

Christmas Snow

Last night the snow came. Gently and steadily it fell, covering everything with 4 to 8 inches of beautiful whiteness. A nice gift to those who are coming for Christmas.
The sun is shining now and the roads are clearing fast. The weather is forecast to be partly cloudy and cold for the rest of the [...]

Ski Till Your Heart’s Content

With all the snow we’ve had in the past few days (and it’s still falling) most of the ski resorts are now open for the 2009-20010 season. Those few that aren’t will open within the next few days. Both downhill and cross-country is widely available.
For a list of resorts and their current snow conditions you [...]

Abundant Snow

Tahoe is now assured of a white Christmas.
We are in the midst of a major snowstorm. Since yesterday we have had 12+ inches and it’s still falling. There are at least two more systems due  later in the week.
Once these storms are through, all the ski slopes should be able to operate at full capacity. [...]

Thanksgiving

Hi folks. It’s shaping up to be a beautiful Thanksgiving Day. The temperature is predicted to be about 50 degrees with sunny skies here on the south shore. Although there is a slight possibility of a few snow showers on Friday there is no reason to be concerned.
Because there is minimal snow on the ground [...]

Ski Areas Opening Today

During the night the clouds went away and the wind calmed. The trees are covered with snow and so are the ski runs. The sun is shining brightly and the roads are clearing fast.
Heavenly, Squaw, and Northstar all opened this morning. Grab your skis and snowboards and come on up.

Snow Is Falling

The snow is falling at Lake Tahoe. Lots of it. When the front came through the temperature dropped 10 degrees in less than 30 minutes. High winds coupled with the snow to produce occasional white-out conditions but that’s let up now. Here at the TahoeVacations.com office it appears we have gotten about 3 inches of the [...]

Heavenly Delays Opening

Our first significant winter storm is due in some time today.
Because of the high, gusty winds that are currently blowing, Heavenly Ski Resort  announced that their season opening planned for today has been rescheduled for tomorrow, November 21, 2009.

Skiing Soon

Heavenly Ski Resort is planning to open for the 2009-2010 season on Friday, November 20. Just how much of the mountain will be available depends on whether we have some significant snowfall to augment their snowmaking.
We’ll post an update when more information is available.

Thanksgiving At Tahoe

Lake Tahoe and Thanksgiving.
Have a big feast you’ve prepared in a home, condo, or townhome rented from Tahoe Vacation Rentals. Or, if you prefer, eat out at one of the many restaurants on the south shore.
Good food surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature at her best. What more could you ask for?
How about skiing? [...]
