Two powerful winter storm systems have delivered over three feet of fresh snow in some locations over the last several days and heavy snowfall that continues today is forecasted to bring up to two more feet of snow in the next 24-hours, with even more snow expected after the weekend to help create a "white Christmas." These fantastic winter conditions have enabled the seven Ski Lake Tahoe resorts to open more ski trails, fire up more ski lifts and provide an even more exciting guest experience for the holidays. Big Storms Bringing Big Powder The storm that is currently blanketing the Lake Tahoe area marks the second major winter storm this month that has brought over three feet of snow in a single storm system. New Year’s storms have traditionally offered multiple feet of fresh powder with storms dumping up to 104 inches of snow, billing New Year’s a notoriously snowy time in Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe area typically has better weather conditions than any resort area in the U.S., with over 400 inches of annual snowfall combined with over 300 days of sunshine at slightly more comfortable winter temperatures. Lake Tahoe: The Ultimate Holiday Destination Lake Tahoe is heralded year after year as one of the best places to be for the holidays.
