Not sure I've ever seen a forecast like that, being from Alberta.

I'm starting to think that the trip I booked to Tahoe next week WAS a good idea...

Nope, nothing to ski here, Tahoe is getting rain up to 10,000 feet.

**skifree** · 02-07-2007, 06:13 PM

But with snow levels dropping to below base elevation by Monday. Can't hurt to hope.

**skifree** · 02-07-2007, 06:15 PM

And Heavenly has a elevation of over 10000 feet, no?

**mc_roon** · 02-07-2007, 06:36 PM

**The Dad** · 02-08-2007, 08:19 AM

FYI, NOAA says that North Tahoe will get heavy snow from 2am-10am Friday, then a break, then precip (hopefully snow) starts up again on Saturday. Tomorrow should be off the hook for them who can hit it.

**smmokan** · 02-08-2007, 08:43 AM

Did I miss something? 0" at heavenly and 1" at Kirkwood?

**woodsskier** · 02-08-2007, 09:03 AM

FRIDAY???

Rose with base of 8000 feet and maybe they'll open more terrain

Squaw if the upper mt is open otherwise KT to Fingers is money and Fingers to base at 6200 is a nice swim

Heavenly with peak at 10,000 feet?

Other?

**Patches** · 02-08-2007, 10:28 AM

This storm is just could enough to screw rose... the snow up in the chutes is for sure two feet of completely faceted snow. Drop 3' of snow on it and its all going to rip to the ground as soon as they bomb it, right?

Best case for rose (and the tahoe BC) would have been an inch of rain up to 11K before temps dropped... or am I missing something?
