ATTENTION ALL SKIERS: The Sierra Snow Is Calling!

If you have missed the amazing snow that the Reno/Tahoe area has received this season...you better get into your car, plane, train or jet as quickly as you can. If you're able to, teleporting would be highly recommended. The ski conditions have been fabulous for the Sierra ski resorts this Winter and so far the Spring skiing hasn't been anything to sneeze at either. This past weekend the Sierras received a nice 2-3 foot unloading of snow from the clouds as they passed through. It left me wondering when Spring was actually going to be allowed to show itself. Well, Spring will have to wait. And there is another weather system that is due to hit next week, sometime between Monday and Friday (April 12-16). How can I make this perfectly clear as to just how perfect the snow has been? Well, let's just say that our snowpacks have finally received totals from 95-99% of the average this year! So grab your snowboard, your skis, your sled, your snow shoes...perhaps even a snowmobile and head on up before the ski season closes.
