Alas, it warmed up a little and the tail end of the storm brought some less-than-ideal weather to Sugar Bowl over the weekend.
Saturday wasn’t too bad. Â A little foggy and heavy, not the best visibility, but still some fun pow to be found from Friday’s storm.
Sunday was pretty awful. Â Rain in the morning, heavy and slushy in the afternoon. Â I’m pretty die-hard, but it was hard to stay stoked for these conditions and I left early.
Monday was sunny for a change, which was a welcome relief.  Like I said to someone on the chairlift, that’s Tahoe for you.  If it isn’t snowing, its warm spring weather.  We did get a freeze overnight, so it was a follow-the-sun day.  Unfortunately, the second shortest day  of the year doesn’t bring too much sun, but it was still nice to be out on a warm day enjoying the sunshine.  Crowds were out in force, the parting lot was full, but liftlines were barely there.
Looking ahead we have a little storm coming through Wednesday and Thursday as a small Christmas present. Â After that there’s nothing on the horizon except crowds and traffic through the end of the year. Â 🙂
