Lake Tahoe’s Flagship Winter Resorts Offer Up to Two Feet of Fresh Snow & Region’s Most Terrain
Combined, the three resorts currently offer 94 trails and 39 lifts moving toward the weekend; and expect to open additional terrain during the coming week prior to the Presidents’ Day holiday.
“In addition to opening Northstar’s scheduled terrain, the resort was able to open seven new trails within the first hour Thursday thanks to the new snow,” said Bill Rock, senior vice president and chief operating officer. “Northstar has delivered the most trails and best conditions in North Lake Tahoe thanks to our state of the art snowmaking system and our dedicated team. Now we’ve received help from Mother Nature, and guests can look forward to a phenomenal week skiing and riding,” Rock stated.
With the West Coast’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems, Heavenly and Northstar ensure Tahoe’s most consistent and reliable snow surface conditions. “This weather system brought a welcomed boost to our snow base, along with the temperatures that will allow us to continue making snow ourselves,” said Pete Sonntag, vice president and chief operating officer of Heavenly. “We will continue to offer superb snow surface conditions, maximizing this significant natural snowfall with our expansive grooming and snowmaking fleets. New terrain opened throughout the day today, and we are in a great position to continue expanding terrain for our guests.”
Kirkwood’s legendary renown for snow depth and accumulation translates to world-class snow conditions. “Kirkwood Mountain Resort’s recent snowfall has brought out the powder-hounds who ‘whoop and holler’ throughout the mountain,” said Casey Blann, vice president and general manager. “The energy and smiles of our guests and staff are off the charts. Kirkwood will open additional terrain today off of Chair 6, which currently offers the steepest and most challenging terrain at Lake Tahoe” Blann added.
