LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - It is being called #FebruBURIED for a reason, record snowfall on the slopes of Lake Tahoe and in the communities in the basin that never stopped. Resorts have broken records for the month, prompting Vail Resorts to announce today they are extending the 2018-19 ski season.
Heavenly Mountain Resort - Plans to extend the season through April 28, with a bonus 3-day-weekend May 3-5.
Northstar California Resort - Plans to extend the season through April 21, Easter Sunday.
Plans may change based on weather, conditions or US Forest Service approval.
During the month of February alone, Heavenly has received 269” of snow, Northstar has received 286” and Kirkwood has received 271”.
“Record-breaking snow conditions paired with the hard work of our mountain operations teams have made for a truly unforgettable season so far,” said Mike Goar, vice president and chief operating officer of the Best of Tahoe Resorts. “With even more snow on the way, we are thrilled to extend the winter operations at all three of our Lake Tahoe resorts and offer skiers and riders additional opportunities to take advantage of these amazing spring conditions across the region.”
