Truckee Storm 2011
April 24, 2011
RECORD WINTER…
It has been quite a while since we have had statistics like this, and it’s about time. This year we have already surpassed many previous years. It has been amazing for sure and brought back memories of the early 80′s. On our first trip up to the top of Tahoe Donner we “skinned” up Skislope Way on our back country skis. The second time up we took the car and drove up as far as we could and then got out, climbed the snow bank and took as many pictures as we could. Pictures don’t do justice to Mother Nature’s work but you can kind of get the idea! Some families, so we heard, were riding the chairlift to the top of the ski hill and then skiing to their snowed in houses!
The snow began around Thanksgiving and other than a short window in January has continued until right now. It is snowing today, Easter Sunday!!!
Everyone likes statistics so here you go:
- Squaw Valley reported 240 inches in March – that is 20 feet
- Sugar Bowl reported 700 inches this season – as of the end of March. It’s still snowing!
- Miracle March (if you love snow) brought 13 feet to 25 feet.
- Squaw Valley has reported the highest snowfall depths in its history – 691 inches, and it has snowed more since!

The West’s Best Ski Towns: Sunset Magazine
December 28, 2010
Most well-rounded: Truckee, CA
Whether you’re all about the hot toddies, mountain views, Wild West saloons, après-ski eats, or small-town-ness, we’ve got the place for you
.
Keeping a low-pro just 13 miles north of Life List–worthy Lake Tahoe is this unritzified ski town—despite the swank Ritz at Northstar up the street. The historic main drag can please teenagers and grandparents alike, with a Blue Bottle Coffee–loving cafe (Elijah Bleu’s), jazz lounge (Moody’s), and a growing number of tasting rooms (the Pour House, Truckee River Winery).
Slopes: The closest of the big guns is blue square–saturated Northstar (check the website for lift prices), but black diamond skiers come for the chutes on its Lookout Mountain. Laid-back powderhounds prefer Alpine Meadows (from $71), while the extreme skier–scenesters stick to Squaw Valley ($86; squaw.com), aka Squallywood. Beginners head to Tahoe Donner ($39) and Soda Springs ($35).
Sleeps: Something for everyone: just-gimme-a-bed at revamped Truckee Tahoe Lodge (from $159); eco-chic-boutique Cedar House Sport Hotel (from $170); and Northstar’s chichi Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe (from $399), with 2 outdoor pools, a restaurant by celeb chef Traci Des Jardins, and a concierge who unbuckles your ski boots for crying out loud.
Info: 35 miles from Reno-Tahoe Int’l; truckee.com
