April is here and that means two things: taxes and potential resort closings. With the biggest dump of snow that Tahoe has seen in decades, I doubt if any resorts will close in April. Typically Northstar closes in mid-April but due to all the snow they’ve extended to April 30th, , and Heavenly is going to May 7th. How much snow is up there? Well, look at the walkway to the Ritz-Carlton at Northstar and the entry to the Summit Smokehouse at the top of Comstock lift. Thanks to Greg Wong for providing the pictures.
Board Nominations & Elections
Well, it’s that time again for holding our board nominations and elections for the 2023-2024 season, and an email for making your nominations for the board will soon find its way to your inbox. As you know,volunteers run this club, and without them this club would cease to exist, and it’s been in existence for over 60 years! You are encouraged to take this opportunity to nominate an individual for one, or more, of the board positions. All individuals that accept the nomination(s) will go through an election process in May, and final results will be announced in the June Newsletter. Normally the results would be announced at the annual June picnic, but this year the picnic will be held in July. Many of you have served on the board in the past, and your efforts were greatly appreciated and perhaps you would like to join the board again. For those that have never served then perhaps now is the time to consider a board position and provide new ideas and useful experience.
