Let’s talk about the elephant in the room… 😐 No snowstorm in over 3 weeks... Before you start to worry, let me share some good news.
Top meteorologists have studied Northern California weather for 45+ years, and it turns out January is always a bit of a wild card. But guess what? Since the 70's, February and March have been consistently snow-packed! [Read more here: https://opensnow.com/dailysnow/tahoe/post/38246?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_term=newsletter&utm_campaign=2024-2025 ]
and personally, for the past 8 seasons we've been in Tahoe... Presidents Week has been nothing short of a winter wonderland!❄️
For the weather nerds like me, here’s a quick video explaining why we’ve been so dry this month [ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ilya-neyman-a5b25539_whats-up-with-our-weather-these-days-normal-activity-7285853413559410688-pDMC/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop ]

But if you just want the highlights…
TL;DR:
Storm patterns are heading above and under California just missing us.
All we need is the patterns to push out a little farther west into the ocean for the curve to land right over us, and we’re set for fresh powder! Meaning get your dates inline for February, Presidents Week and March as they are going to be as magical as they are every winter!

What's Up With Our Weather These Days? Normal OR Not? Here's my 1 minute deep-dive...

There’s a storm rolling in ❄️❄️❄️ whether you’re skiing with us in Tahoe or Park City this week, it’s sure to be a holiday to remember! ⛷️🕎

Finding the perfect place to stay for Hanukkah is like finding the perfect latke recipe—everyone’s got opinions, but we’ve got the winner.

The Marriott is the place to be… picture this: a crackling fireplace, a stunning mountain view, and just close enough to the lifts so you can spend more time skiing and less time searching for parking.

You’ll thank us later 🤝⛷️🏔️

If you know us, you know we are always here to share a great recommendation when we see one. The Coachman Hotel is a must-visit this upcoming winter season. Not only did they master the cozy cabin vibes - it's only 1 block away from the Heavenly Gondola, so you can walk over without having to worry about waking up early to find parking!

Make sure to check them out! ❄️

Do you lose focus easily? Skiing can change that!
Skiing is an action sport. It helps you hyper focus on yourself while simultaneously being aware of your surroundings (ie. other skiers, weather, terrain etc)

So not only does the adrenaline boost give you superpowers, but the act of skiing itself helps you build and strengthen your focus muscles 🧠💪
