The warm weather and rain has melt some of the snow over the last 7 days. The temperature dropped yesterday and brought in about a foot of new snow to the Heavenly North area. We are expecting more snow over the next 5 days. Should be great skiing over the Holidays.

If you are moving to Tahoe we have an unfurnished long term rental available 1.8.11. It is located 5 minutes from the Stagecoach Lift and 8 minutes from the Boulder Lift. Visit our Long term rentals page for more information.

Six inches of snow fell yesterday (10.7.10) in the Heavenly North area. So far this fall/winter we have seen a dusting or two, but this was the first real accumulation of snow to start the 2010-2011 ski and snowboard season.

Here is info on what Vail has been doing over the last 6 months. I thought we were supposed to be in a recession. I think it is great news Vail is choosing to invest right now. And even better news for us is they are investing in the Lake Tahoe area. Keep in mind we have not seen how they will take advantage of the hole in the ground next to the casinos. I bet Vail will own and develop the entire project.

New snow continues to fall in South Lake Tahoe. Here is a picture showing the amount of snow that has fallen today from the current storm.

As you can see the tape measure shows +/- 21 inches.

These pictures are taken from a unit located next to the Stageocach Lift at Heavenly Mountain Resort at the 7000 foot elevation level. More storms are predicted for the rest of the week so skiing should really improve starting today.

An adult epic pass is $599 for a full season of phenomenal skiing or snowboarding at six mountain resorts (Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Heavenly and Arapahoe Basin).

When does the first snow fall in Lake Tahoe?

First snow of the season fell last night. I understand it is not much, but it helps get you thinking about the upcoming season. I live at 7500 feet near the Stagecoach Lift at Heavenly Mountain Resort in the Heavenly North area. We normally see more snow in this area than you would find at lake level.
Here is a picture of the lower part of the Stagecoach Run at Heavenly.
