Calling all skiers, snowboarders, sledders, snowman makers, tobogganers, ice skaters, hot toddy sippers, snowshoers, snow fort builders, snow sculptors, snowball fighters, and snowball lovers!  Trusted local snowcaster, Bryan Allegretto at opensnow.com, has officially called it.  According to Bryan, it should be cold and dry enough for the next 10 days for snow-making, with weather patterns shifting around November 17 for possible storms.  I know, snow making is not quite the same as snowflakes tumbling from the sky.  But, it’s a good (and early) start to the season.  Nearby Mount Rose has been busy making snow for weeks, so much snow that they are opening this weekend.  Our home resort, Northstar California Resort, along with nearby Squaw Valley, are gearing up to open on November 16—that’s less than a week away. It’s officially time to tune bindings, sharpen edges, wax boards, and get your favorite playmates together for a trip to the mountains.
