NORTH TAHOE SKI RESORTS WELCOME 1-2 FEET OF NEW SNOW

 (NORTH LAKE TAHOE, California/Nevada) – Mother Nature is making up for a late arrival with 1 to 2 feet of new snow falling at North Lake Tahoe ski resorts’ upper elevations Thursday and Friday.

According to meteorologists, the storm door has opened with a series of systems lined up and a possible six feet of snow falling above 8,000 feet by Monday.

“North Lake Tahoe ski resorts have done a stellar job cranking the snow machines around the clock,” said Chief Marketing Officer Andy Chapman of the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association. “It’s great to have Mother Nature lending a hand.”

According to Chapman, additional snow removal crews have been hired to keep the roads clear throughout the storm system, making way for skiers and snowboarders eager to experience North Lake Tahoe’s conditions. Lodging accommodations, restaurants, retail and non-ski activity providers have also geared up and are looking forward to greeting guests from both near and far.

It just got a little easier for Bay Area residents to fly into the Reno-Tahoe International Airport with new daily service from San Jose via Alaska Airlines. The new service further connects the airport with Alaska’s western routes between Los Angeles, Seattle, Hawaii and beyond. To celebrate Alaska’s new service, the carrier is offering $69 fares on flights between San Jose and Reno. Tickets must be purchased by January 25 and used for travel from June 5 through July 18, 2012. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a 45-minute drive from North Lake Tahoe. The North Lake Tahoe Express also provides daily VIP airport service from Reno-Tahoe.
