So I will be in Tahoe next week and hoping for snow but if there isn't much... - Snowboarding Forum

Do you guys have recommendations on things to do / places to see? Plan to make the most of the week there since I can't do anything to back out of the trip at this point. Praying to the snow gods that they get dumps right before / early but need alternate plans just in case

Doesn't look like we'll be getting snow in tahoe anytime soon. Most of the resorts are open and they have the snow machines on so a few trails are open at each resort.

bring your mountain bike

No snow in the forecast, most resorts are open but with limited coverage and lifts

If you like park, go to boreal. They've got a really fun park right now and its pretty cheap.

are you gonna be in south or north lake tahoe?

If you have a set of wheels, take a stroll down to Yosemite and do some hiking!

Please give us an update on the mountains. I've been checking the webcams for various resorts and I'm seeing more rocks/dirt and white stuff.

I was at Kirkwood a couple weeks ago and I'll be at Mount Rose on Thurs-Fri.

This is as depressing as my trip to Whistler in late Jan (still decent). I leave the northeast for no snow while Vermont mountains keep getting snow. I will never plan any more Jan trips unless it's a last minute trip. I also go straight to Aspen at the end of this trip so doubly hurt by the late start of the season

Wasatchman - wish I could

Cr0_Reps_Smit - South I guess? Staying at the Heavenly Inn and we're supposed to hit up Kirkwood, Heavenly, Sierra and Squaw. 3 out of the 4 mountains I guess have been creating fake snow around the clock as I see their base has gone up from practically nothing without any real snow

myschims - not into park

neednsnow - that may be a good idea. How far is it?

say chi sin lo - will do but I'm sure it won't be a surprise to hear it wasn't worth the trip.
