Holidays Bring Snow, Special Events to Truckee/Lake Tahoe

White … and perhaps very wonderful!

For those dreaming of a white Christmas, dream no longer.  A recent study indicates there very well may be a good, even great, ski season ahead.  Manual and electronic readings taken this past week  indicate that the Tahoe snowpack is 193% percent of normal for the date – far exceeding measurements of 3% last year and 16% during the early winter of 2013.

To keep up to date on what’s to come, we follow Bryan Allegretto with The Tahoe Daily Snow.  Although he’s not always on the mark, he seems to have a knack of getting it right most of the time.

For complete ski conditions, there’s always a dependable update through veteran ski writers who write and publish country-wide conditions at OnTheSnow.com.
