It’s finally that time of year when ski resorts remind us they’re still very much in business, and this winter season is kicking off with excitement in Tahoe. Kirkwood Mountain Resort plans to open its slopes for skiing and snowboarding on Friday, December 5, while Northstar California Resort will follow suit on Saturday, December 6. That’s right—winter sports enthusiasts, get ready to dust off those ski boots!
Kirkwood has reported a hearty 44 inches of natural snow just this month, aided nicely by its snowmaking efforts. Talk about a welcome mat for winter! Northstar, initially set to open on November 21, is rolling out the red carpet for snow lovers this weekend, and its vice president and general manager, Tara Schoedinger, can hardly contain her excitement. She’s ready to usher guests into a fresh snowy season despite the unexpected delay.
And before you start dreaming about fresh powder, it looks like nature might not be delivering any more snow immediately. Still, KCRA 3 Meteorologist Heather Waldman assures us that the cold temperatures will work wonders for artificial snowmaking. So, whether you’re hitting the slopes or just taking in the snowy atmosphere with a warm drink, it’s time to embrace the winter wonderland right around the corner!
