BE ADVISED:
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning starting tonight and continuing until Monday Evening. Travel within the Sierra is highly discouraged after 4 pm today. If you do decide to drive to our resorts, please consider your safety and the safety of others. Consider also the strong possibility that highway I-80 could close in both directions at any time.
Another BIG set of storms is headed our way! The latest forecast is calling for 2 storms headed to Tahoe that could bring multiple feet of snow. This series of storms (Friday-Monday) will coincide with weekend travel, so please note that there may be chain controls, slow moving traffic or road closures as the snow flies. We strongly encourage you to check weather, road status, snow reports and lift status as we move into a dynamic weather pattern over the weekend. Here are some helpful links:
