MLK Weekend Preview: Jan 13-15

  • Jan 9, 2018
  • 3:45 pm

We’re in store for another long weekend of fun skiing & riding, sunny skies, spring-like conditions and tons of events and activities off the slopes!

Weather & Conditions

9″ of New Snow in the Last Week

Monday’s wet storm delivered 3″ of new snow on the upper mountain terrain. This made for some soft, fun turns on Tuesday and a nice refresh of white at our higher elevations (9″ total in the last week). While snowstorms are clearing out for a few days, we are stoked for another weekend of sunny skies, mild temperatures and fun groomed terrain over the weekend. As the temperatures warm into the 40s throughout the day, the snow should be soft and spring-like!

Tip: Beginners will love the High Camp area with groomed green runs off Mountain Meadow and Bailey’s Beach and beautiful views of Lake Tahoe.

More Snow Ahead

Another storm pattern moves in early next week, and we are hopeful for some more snow!

Next week we could see the first storm move in as early as Monday night. It looks like we are heading into a stormier pattern next week that could last for at least a week. The storms do have colder air with them.” — Bryan Allegreto’s Weather Blog
