Tahoe is getting hit. Getting hit good. It’s a fast moving storm that will leave some of that nice thick Sierra pow pow at Lake level and above. NOAA is expecting 18″ above 7000 feet and around 6″ at Lake level. Loads of wind will be pushing this storm through the area quickly. You know what that means?! Loads of snow deposited on those prime East / Northeast faces. It’s gonna be good!
If this storm comes in right, a little heavy and sticky like that classic Sierra cement, we’re golden! I think it will. It’s got the higher freezing level, the moisture and the winds. The backcountry in the Mt. Rose area will probably see 2 feet plus. I’ll report back on that… Opening day at Squaw is Saturday the 21st. Any beta on what will be open? I think not much. Who cares! I’m making some turns!
EPIC!
