Stormy Wednesday

I don’t need to check, I’m sure Squawpine didn’t run anything close to the top.  Mt. Rose was straight up closed.

Here at Sugar Bowl, those of us who braved the “blizzard”-in-progress were treated to Disney, Judah and Lincoln!  Kudos to Sugar patrol and ops who still know how to open in a storm!  Best in Tahoe.

Winds weren’t too bad in the end, visibility was decent, no crowds or lines, couldn’t ask for a better storm day of freshies and free refills!  Things didn’t get too “blizzardy” until the afternoon.  Tomorrow could be a bit tougher if the forecast holds, heavy snow all day.  Friday is going to be a zoo.

p.s. Trivia!  Last week’s answer: False.  Miners from Nevada City were hired to do the drilling for the steel towers.  All the concrete was hand-mixed and poured on-site.

This week’s question: Ski Magazine once called Sugar Bowl the “Rools Royce of California Skiing.”  True or False?

Just another Truckee local who spends too much time at Sugar Bowl.
