Tahoe is the new Snoqualmie! A foot or two of fresh every night, just like last season in the Cascades. Too breezy up high today, so we skied trees outside Mt Rose ski area. No vistas of the lake today, just excellent powder. My friends were patient with me trying to acclimatize to 8000'+ starting altitude.
Have fun! Save a little powder for me in early March! We'll keep dreaming alpine dreams up here.
Thanks for the report, Silas. I've been checking the backcountry.net forum and been pouring over some Desolation Wilderness maps longingly since the Sierra dumps have started falling. Love to get there sometime.
Have a great time down there.
