It's springtime in Tahoe...
and the Powderhound is stoked to be able to get a tan while out on the slopes

The weather is always somewhat inconsistent this time of year, which adds to the excitement... Will it be a powder day? Sunny and warm with plenty of corn snow? Maybe both in one weekend.

Whatever the weather, spring in Tahoe is a laid-back time, with locals and visitors alike relaxing and enjoying the last of the ski season and the abundant sunshine. So come on out and enjoy it.

See you in Tahoe,

And since the early-March storms dropped a heaping helping of snow on the Tahoe Basin, this spring is shaping up to be a good one.

Lake Tahoe ski resorts are looking to capitalize, and are offering some great deals to skiers and snowboarders looking to get some late-season turns in.
