Hello skiers,
The sun has come out, and it looks like spring has arrived in Tahoe. The overnight temperatures were in the teens. We received between two and four inches of new snow overnight giving the mountain a lovely white coat to wear this morning. Winds were blowing yesterday during the storm, so the new snow was on the dense side this morning. South facing slopes were littered with firm crusty coral heads hiding just under the new snow. Some north facing slopes created a bumpy ride as we turned from powder in the troughs, to firm on the ridges of moguls. The great visibility was a welcome site for those of us who have been skiing blind over the past weeks. I did find some very nice powder where the terrain had not been tracked over the previous days. Low Beaver offered up some beautiful soft turns as did the untracked snow in the Lower Saddle. A few of us ventured out beyond Field of Dreams this morning and headed for O’Henry’s. This involves a little more hiking than skiing my version of Field of Dreams, as you head down toward the top of the old Powder Bowl Ski Lift. However, the line through the trees down this steeper slope, that is longer than the slope of Field of Dreams, was just perfect today. The north facing shaded slopes were untracked and mostly undisturbed under the newest layer of snow. We painted curvy lines down these slopes in foot deep powder bringing smiles to everyone’s faces.
Enjoy your day. Andy
