The howling wind with accompanying snow flurries is music to my ears as I sit here writing the NSC article here in Tahoe. Finally, we got a decent snow fall of 12” during a year where storms have been few and far between. So I hope you have faith that this year will turn around and you decide to sign up for NSC’s Ski trip this year. Snowmaking at Heavenly and Northstar has made a big difference during this drought year, so skiing is not as bad as you may think.
I was skiing at Heavenly this past weekend and there was snow.
The Dipper, Comet and Sky Express chairs were in full operation. We had powder conditions and snow was still falling. The weather forecast is calling for more snow in the next couple of days.
We heard that the snow making and coverage at Squaw Valley was not good. We might have to change our destination to Alpine Meadows. It all depends on you and if we can get 35 sign ups by Valentine’s Day, February 14th otherwise we have to cancel our trip.
We have only 8 sign ups so far. I don’t blame you for not signing up. We are in the middle of the worst drought crisis since 1977. Please send me an email if you are interested.
The Nisei Ski Club officers and Board members are starting to think about where to go for the 2015 week-long trip. If there is a specific place you would like to ski, please let our president / Ex-officio Armand know.
In the meantime, 24 NSC members are gearing up to leave for Sun Peaks this weekend.
Have a great trip.
