When we first got up here mid-January there was just whatever snow had landed or been manufactured. The storms that were expected around that time and shortly afterwards didn't result in much snow.
Then around the very end of January to early February we did get some nice storms and decent snow.
Over all though, this is nothing like last year (was not up here last year) where Tahoe had a banner season.
Tahoe is like that - some years boom, some years bust.
One thing California ski resorts, don't have much if any of, is the real deal "powder" the light flakey stuff that people talk about. Even when there is fresh snow for the most part Tahoe snow is "heavier" than what you might find in say Colorado or Utah.
I am not playing at the casinos in Tahoe at all, 0. Not skiing every day either.
