Is Winter Coming Back to Tahoe?!

Well after a gorgeous weekend last weekend this week looks like it may be taking a turn back towards winter. The weekend forecast is calling for scattered snow showers with the possibility of some real moisture early next week! Take a look at the local forecast on NOAA's website.

Easter week and spring break have come and gone....so now what? Well there are a few great benefit events this weekend including the Billy Dutton Memorial Race, an uphill....yes, uphill.....race from the base of Squaw Valley to High Camp on Sunday and the Disabled Sports USA Benefit Bash at Alpine Meadows on Saturday Night. Learn more about these events and what else is going on at http://www.gotahoenorth.com/

Brad Carter was talking about pulling the kayaks out this week, but it looks like mother nature is going to put a stop to that idea for know. I am sure the warm weather and our true spring is right around the corner so I will keep you posted.

Otherwise, things are getting a little quiet already here. The early coming and going of easter means a lot of time until the next holiday weekend. It is a great time to be up here though....great skiing, no crowds and good deals everywhere. So come up if you can!

On another note, there are some great opportunities to buy at Tonopalo right now. If you have any friends or family that have ever considered buying at Tonopalo or have even mentioned how much they enjoy the property now is a great time to buy a share. There are some instances where prices have come down to original or near original pricing!! That combined with great interest rates make for great buying opportunities!! Tell your friends now!

Easter Weekend at Tonopalo

Well, after a snowy and cold weekend last weekend, it looks like we have some real spring conditions to look forward to for this coming weekend. There may be a light storm moving through this week with clearing by Friday and temperatures forecast to be in the upper 50s on Saturday and Sunday. Sounds like a great weekend to be up here.


As I mentioned last week the pool and hot tub at High Camp at Squaw Valley are now open for the spring and we finally might see some hot tubbing appropriate weather for that. Also at Squaw this weekend are the Demo Days. For only $35 you can demo all the gear you want all day long on the slopes at Squaw on both Friday and Saturday. This is a great way to try before you buy, and this is the best time of year to be buying ski gear. New gear prices are greatly reduced and you can buy used demo gear in great shape for even better bargains! Visit http://www.squaw.com/ for more info about the demo days and http://www.tahoedaves.com/ for great deals on used demo gear right now.


Other events this weekend include a free concert on the deck at Alpine Meadows Saturday featuring Sugarshack from 1-3PM, and Easter festivities all weekend at Northstar-at-Tahoe.


Tonopalo will be celebrating Easter with Easter Egg decorating in the clubhouse at Noon on Saturday and the always exciting Easter egg hunt on Sunday at 10am. This is all in addition to the cocktail reception on Saturday evening from 5-7pm.

More Snow at the Lake? 3/12/08

Yes, it looks that way. Another series of storm systems is supposed to move through the area this weekend, although at this point nothing seems to be carrying the power or moisture that we have seen earlier this season. For the weekend forecast visit NOAA.

So what is happening in the snowy weather this weekend? Well, Saturday is the scheduled opening of the pool and spa at high camp. Also, check out Alpine Meadows on Saturday for a free concert on the deck from 1pm-3pm. I think someone told the resorts it was supposed to be Spring. For all the weekend events visit GoTahoeNorth's website.

Don't forget that Monday is St. Patricks Day. I am sure that there will be celebrations all around the lake. Celebrating at The Auld Dubliner in Squaw is my favorite as it is the most authenic Irish bar/restaurant on the North Shore. Other favorites are O.B.s in Truckee or River Ranch at the base of Alpine Meadows.
