| The fourth bad season in a row? |
Tahoe Donner Cross Country closed today, due to low snow
conditions. They will reopen when they receive more snow, which is uncertain at
this time. The National Weather Service is forecasting continued warm
temperatures in the Tahoe basin through November 1. The 2014/2015 Sierra
snowpack is at 33% of average for this time.
The conditions at Tahoe Donner Cross Country had been
restricted for several days due to limited snow and icy conditions. The
afternoon sun and 50 degree daytime temperatures have been melting what little
snow there is left.
The Tahoe Donner Downhill ski area is still open, but with very
limited service. On January 19 they reported one lift operating (Eagle Rock
Chairlift) with 2 trails open (Mile Run & Walt’s). The reported base was “3-8 inches”. Ski
conditions are icy in the morning, turning to slushy spring conditions in the afternoon.
Call Tahoe Cross Country after a snowfall to check if they
have reopened. 530-587-9484.
