Currently we are expieriencing whiteout conditions with heavy snow and extremely high winds that have affected lift operations. More updates will follow throughout the day, and as weather conditions warrant. With another 12 inches of fresh, soft powder from this winter storm, you can guarantee that the quality of snow will be the finest we've expierienced this year! Lifts will start turning at 8:30am today

The wind was banging so hard against the windows last night that it woke me up half a dozen times. Right now, it's dumping now, which is great, the mountain needs it even after the 2-3 feet it got on Thursday, but it's not going to be much fun to ski today. High winds have all but a handfull of lifts shut down and there are only 2 lifts open, Stagecoach and Boulder, on the Nevada side where I am. At least the roads are still open so we can leave Tahoe and head back to the Bay Area. But there is a foot of now in our driveway and it just keeps piling up. Should be an interesting day.
