Here Comes the Snow!
UPDATE (December 1, 2019): And, it’s here…The storms marched in with a vengeance, blanketing North Lake Tahoe in snow. Now it’s not so much a question of whether you will be able to board and ski, and more a question of, “Can you get there?” Check the traffic, be safe, and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
UPDATE (November 26, 2019): Snow is falling at Happy Cabin, and Northstar California Resort opens the day after Thanksgiving—this Friday! Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows opened with one lift on November 14 and two lifts open today. With back to back storms expected through the weekend, the conditions should just get better as more cold, wet weather arrives.
With snow falling here and there and snow-making operations in effect at the highest-elevation resorts, local resorts are projecting opening days sooner rather than later. Mt. Rose is the earliest, with a projected opening day of October 25. That’s only a week away! The rest of our local resorts are shooting for mid to late November. Weather-willing, of course… Stay tuned for updates, as we dust off our board bags and get ready for snow.

The Farmer’s Almanac and NOAA have weighed in on whether this will be an epic or a ho-hum year for snow in North Lake Tahoe, and their predictions couldn’t be more different. Stay tuned for real-time updates, as we give you bi-monthly updates from the mountain.
