Man, you are on a tear with the ski trips. Good on ya.

Alpine Meadows is my favorite...and gotta head to Squaw for a full day. Meadows is laid back, tree shots, shorter runs,.....Squawllywood is everything opposite of that.

Forgot....stay in North Lake Tahoe (Incline Village---also has casinos and is cheaper).

True no snow now but should be coming....You HAVE to hit Sugar Bowl and Kirkwood.
Stay in the South Lake area.....Trust me you want to party at the VEX and Cabo Wabo.......You'll forget about the lack of snow.

I wish. the 4cast calls for 60 degrees and sunshine for the next two weeks......

Squaw....KT 22 laps on a powder day are probably the best in-bounds experience I have ever had.

Well in a week from tomorrow I fly to Tahoe and the weather is looking incredible, its like good conditions follow me were ever I go Colorado, Vermont and now Tahoe, Heavenly has gotten 48 inches in 48 hours, and squaw looks like 60 in 5 days, and plenty more in the way till Thursday. We will see how it goes it should be fine since they are getting this great storms a week before I get there, so driving should be fine and the winds should be gone by then.

Really cool ski shop in Truckee called The Backcountry. Specialize in tele,
mtn biking and rock climbing. Steered me to some great backcountry
skiing and great folks for insight to the resorts. Squaw is def a sight to behold. Don't rule out The ski area's above Truckee Donner Pass etc
and there is great car/hitchhike skiing up there too.
