Every major ski resort in the Lake Tahoe region has reported nearly two feet of new snow over the past 24 hours. And both Alpine Meadows and Diamond Peak nearly reached the three-foot level of fresh snow.
More snow is arriving today (Dec. 29) and tomorrow with a weather break expected to arrive on New Year’s Eve day, which means the slopes will be crowded with skiers and snowboarders throughout the rest of the holiday period.
There is so much snow at the Lake Tahoe resorts that Northstar-at-Tahoe posted a “tips for skiing deep snow” on its home page.
