Snow is on the way!

As long as it gets a bit colder, that is. All the weather service predictions indicate a series of storms moving into the Tahoe area this week, bringing some much-needed snow to the high country.

About time, if you ask the Powderhound! Will you be up here to enjoy it?

Skiing the east shore:
Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe Resort

On a clear day you can see forever. Views of Washoe Valley, the Virginia Hills and Reno are spectacular from the top of Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. However, when high winds kick up and low clouds cover the mountain, conditions are just the opposite. Access to all intermediate, advanced and expert skiing is from the top, so if you can't see the top of the mountain from the lodge, equip yourself with goggles and very warm clothes and be prepared for a chilly chair ride. But when the sun shines, there is no a better place close to Reno to enjoy high Sierra skiing.

You really had to be there. Mt. Rose Ski Area hosted its annual Elvis Day and the rhinestones and capes were out in force. Folks showed up from as far away as England to pay tribute to the King. Tahoe.com went out to capture some photographic evidence that Elvis did in fact leave the building and headed out on the slopes.
