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. [...]

Grover Hot Springs

Now folks, this is a super neat place to visit. It is perfect for people who love the mountains. Just consider…sitting in a pool filled with 102-105 degree water from 5 natural hot springs. Add to that it’s all outdoors so while you soak you are surrounded by the beauty of 10,000 foot mountains and [...]

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 [...]

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.

Snow…Yes!

During the early morning hours the snow came. In fact, as this is being written, the snow is falling. Not a great amount here at the office but there has been enough in the higher elevations to cause chain controls on the roads.
There is a possibility for more showers throughout today and then clearing for [...]

Snow…Maybe

Word from the weather people in Reno is to expect a cold, low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska to drop down and move through the Lake Tahoe area by Wednesday afternoon.
Supposedly, we could get several inches of snow Wednesday night through Thursday.
We’ll post an update and let you know when it happens. (If [...]
