LAKE TAHOE, CA – The winter enthusiasts’ hearts are aflutter in Lake Tahoe as the region is greeted with a beautiful gift from the heavens – a fresh layer of snow. Several Tahoe ski resorts have received a substantial dusting of the white stuff, delighting both locals and visitors alike.
As we all know, the Lake Tahoe area is renowned for its world-class ski resorts, and the recent snowfall is like music to the ears of skiers and snowboarders eager to hit the slopes. This early season snowfall is a promising sign for the upcoming winter sports season.
Here’s a quick update on the snowfall at some of the region’s most beloved ski destinations:
- Kirkwood: The snow sensor at 8,000 feet at Kirkwood has measured an impressive 5 inches of new snow. This bodes well for a fantastic start to the ski season, as Kirkwood is known for its challenging terrain and deep powder.
- Heavenly: Over at Heavenly Mountain Resort, the snow sensor indicates a respectable 2.3 inches of fresh snow. While not as much as some other areas, this is a great sign that the snow is beginning to accumulate, promising more winter wonders to come.
- South Lake Tahoe: Pictures from South Lake Tahoe show approximately 5 inches of snow at the base around 7,000 feet. This is terrific news for those who prefer to stay closer to the lake while still enjoying the powdery goodness.

The higher elevations received what seems to be a significant layer of snow, making it an excellent sign for backcountry enthusiasts and those seeking challenging terrain.
