Tahoe isn't done with winter yet!

It appears spring hasn't made its way to Lake Tahoe yet. April has been the best month for skiing all year. If only the mountains looked like this in January... it would be last year. I am getting my final day in Saturday, I might be able to squeak out one more weekend but I think this is it. All is well since the North Pacific High is strong and there should be plenty of 20+ knot days in San Francisco Bay. Hopefully the forecast below holds and I can end the winter season with a bang.
Given what the mountains looked like in the beginning of March it is amazing that the Chimney is open at squaw. Every line is a little scarier right now because of how little snow fell earlier in the season. Got to love that Sierra Cement and how it sticks to the steeps so well.
Most people are still thinking about the awesome days from April Fools weekend. It doesn't line up so perfectly that often. As you can see Squaw is also milking the good shots they got from that weekend for all they are worth.
