Sadly, the 22/23 winter and ski season has come to an end. What a season it was though! Cold and snowy from beginning to end. With only a couple days of rain at the house all winter, most of the precipitation fell as snow, and there was a LOT of it. We measured 334″ at …

We leave, it snows It almost never fails. We leave Tahoe for our Big Trip and the biggest storms of the year happen. This year was beyond anything seen before. About 90″ of snow fell on top of the 210″ that had already fallen this winter. It made the news repeatedly as buildings collapsed and …
Record Snowfall in Tahoe Wow, late December to mid January was crazy! As of January 19th Tahoe had received more than the average snowfall for a whole season. We experienced power failures, 8″ of RAIN in one day, resort closures, massive traffic jams, and unplowed roads for days in South Lake Tahoe. That much snow …
A good start Even with the record December snowfall last year, the snow didn’t really start until the middle of December with no snow in November. We didn’t even get our first day until Dec 11th. This year has been very different with 97″ of snowfall at our house by December 12th, so we were …
Well here we are again at the end of the 21/22 ski season. Sadly the snow has melted and the long wait begins as always. It’s only been a week since we last skied and we miss it already! Mammoth trip We wrapped up the season in late May at Mammoth. This is one of …

Fire Before the ski season even began for 2021/22, we returned from a long camping trip on the Oregon coast to the Caldor fire. Within 2 weeks it was knocking on the door of South Lake Tahoe. On August 29th, the fire burned through one of our favorite local resorts Sierra at Tahoe. We were …
As is our tradition, we wrapped up the season with a camping/skiing trip to Mammoth after our Tahoe resorts closed for the season. This year ended up with way below normal snowfall at Mammoth, so we had to go in early May instead of June or even July 4th. Because of that the skiing was …
It’s been a great ski season so far! As of March 20th, I have 55 days and AiRung has a respectable 29. This year in Tahoe has been far below average as far as snowfall, currently sitting at 66% of normal averaging the 3 resorts we usually ski at: Sierra at Tahoe, Heavenly, and Kirkwood. …
The 19/20 season was brought to a halt due to COVID-19 right as Tahoe got pounded with feet of powder. With so much snow left on the table last season, we were looking to start the 20/21 season off strong! Luckily this year we had a good combination of average snowfall and below normal temps. …
