Is there enough show in Lake Tahoe in Apirl to ski?

Sep-30-2009 Posted under Ski Lake Tahoe

We planning a trip up to Lake Tahoe during the week of Apirl 14th and wondering if the conditions are typically favorable for skiing during that time of the year.

Yes, there’s skiing around April 14th in Lake Tahoe during almost any yr. This yr. they’ve had record snowfall so you should be in good shape. You should, however, check the websites for Lake Tahoe skiing & resorts like Heavenly, Kirkwood & Squa Valley since they have the highest elevation & the largest vertical drops. The websites will give you how snow they have (snow base in inches and/or feet). They’ll also show you if they’re open & how much of the moutain is open, i.e., how many runs & lifts are open. Since it’s colder at a higher elevation & it generally snows more in the upper parts of ski areas, you should be in good shape. Good Luck.

How are the ski conditions like during the second half of March at Lake Tahoe?

Sep-30-2009 Posted under Ski Squaw

and will all the resorts still be open? how about that squaw valley night run for $20 i did two years ago, that was awesome..

The Squaw night run is now $22, but still a good deal for 5hrs (4pm-9pm). The resorts should still be open late March, it’s only a month away and the Tahoe area just got a couple of huge storms last week and another storm is on it’s way over the weekend. The weather is still cold and I don’t think it’ll be so warm that the resorts will have to close in a month. But, the slopes might be a bit slushy and icy if it gets too warm.

I was just at Kirkwood (south side of Tahoe) on Tuesday and it was snowing pretty hard. I was up to my chest in powder. I’d imagine the resorts will still be open in 3 weeks…

Who is the first and only American to win two gold medals in Alpine Ski events in the same Olympics?

Sep-30-2009 Posted under Ski Alpine


Andrea Mead-Lawrence was first American Alpine skier and first woman in the world to win two gold medals in Alpine events in one Winter Olympics.

She won the two gold medals from giant slalom Women and slalom Women in 1952 Oslo Winter Olympics.

Her Olympic victories, coupled with her U.S. championship titles in the downhill, slalom, and Alpine combined in 1950, 1952, and 1955 and the giant slalom in 1953, earned her a place in the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame.

What was the name of the tv show set at a mountain ski lodge with two brothers?

Sep-30-2009 Posted under Mountain Lodging

The two brothers inherited the lodge from their dad when he died. Both brothers loved the same girl. One was fun and flirty the other tryed to be all business. I think it used to be on the WB network, not ABC or NBC or FOX. I think it was on the air in 2005 or 2006.

The Mountain was a American television series that was broadcast on the WB Television Network for one season, from 2004–2005. The show received very low ratings and was canceled after only thirteen episodes. The theme song, "I Miss You" is sung by blink-182.

Plot

The plot centers on a ski resort run by Will Carver (Anson Mount). When his grandfather dies, Carver discovers that the resort has been left to his younger brother David (Oliver Hudson), an irresponsible layabout who returns to pick up the reins. There is familial conflict over the resort and over Maria (Alana de la Garza), a woman who previously dated David, but then dates Will. Additional conflict comes from the efforts of land developer Colin Dowling (Mitch Pileggi) and his attractive daughter, Max (Elizabeth Bogush), who falls for David.

What is a good low cost hotel in South Lake Tahoe?

Sep-30-2009 Posted under Lake Tahoe Hotels

I’m looking to spend no more than 100.00 a night in South lake Tahoe that is close to the Casino’s, hopefully walking distance. Thanks!

I have stayed at The Ambassador Motor Lodge many times. It is older but is very clean and nice people manage it. It is across the street from Harrahs. I think it is around $75 a night.

Has anyone ever been to condo rentals at Silverwoods at Treasure Lake in Dubois, PA?
