Good Morning Lake Tahoe Skiers & Riders…
A Terrific Tuesday to hit the slopes before the series of weather systems moves thru starting this afternoon and thru-out the week. A ReFresh of New Snow yesterday… Winter Weather Advisory posted, today thru Wednesday afternoon… Then, Winter Storm Watch from Wednesday afternoon thru late Thursday… 2-4 Feet possible above 7000 feet… Surface Conditions are holding up with Machine Groomed & Skier-Rider Packed Powder with Fresh Snow on top… Respect all Patrol Rope lines & Area Closures… Get After it! Have Fun & Be Safe!
