Lake Tahoe, CA & NV (March 20, 2012) - Lake Tahoe ski resorts are boasting the best conditions of the season thanks to another round of powerful March storms that brought snow totals of more than five feet of new snow at lake level with summit elevations reporting up to nine feet. Powder aficionados were treated to eight consecutive days of fresh powder with the final tally cresting the 100-inch mark for the week. Families and spring breakers have hit the jackpot this week with a winning combination of blue skies, bottomless powder turns and comfortable spring temperatures.

 

The forecast looks quite promising for the remainder of March with another round of strong Pacific storms projected to move into the region this weekend. Meteorologists are calling for a potential repeat of last week's powder-producing storm track that could catapult the region above its average annual snowfall total for the current season.

 

The spring skiing scene in Lake Tahoe is legendary for its perfect blend of world-class skiing and snowboarding, predictably sunny skies and countless fun diversions both on and off the slopes. The seven Ski Lake Tahoe resorts have put together an impressive lineup of live concerts, spring-themed festivals, spectator-friendly competitions and one-of-a-kind special events including the ever-popular pond skimming parties. Once the lifts stop turning, the action truly gets underway thanks to the region's endless nightlife options and 24/7 gaming opportunities situated on both shores of Lake Tahoe.
