Resorts Extend Season for Record-Breaking Snow
It seems like just yesterday we were longing for snow. Well, we got it. In record amounts. February broke the record for the most snowfall in a single month, leaving North Lake Tahoe resorts awash in powder. The good news for boarders and skiers is that the resorts are extending their seasons to take advantage of these record-breaking conditions. Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows just announced they will be open until July 7. Beach, barbecue, fireworks and snowboarding, anyone? Other local resorts have extended their projected closing dates from March to the end of April. Here are the current projected closing dates for the other resorts near Happy Cabin: Northstar California Resort (April 21); Diamond Peak (April 14); Mt. Rose (April 28); Homewood Mountain Resort (April 14). That leaves plenty of time for another snow trip or two.
UPDATE: Our family spent the St. Patrick’s Day weekend boarding, skiing and ice skating at Northstar under bluebird skies. After months of storms, everyone was in a great mood and happy to see the sun. With mild weather, plenty of snow, and reduced crowds, the end of March and beginning of April are shaping up to be a good time to visit. Spring break?
