Only 5 - 8 Feet Of Snow, And You Can't Get Here From Anywhere

 In the winter of '92 - '93, Tahoe set several snow records. One memorable event, after a particularly big storm, was when one of Tahoe's radio stations broadcast phone calls to ski resorts asking about how much snow the resorts had received. The calls to both Diamond Peak and Kirkwood were notable. Both said - in essence - "The good news is that we've got eight feet of new snow. The bad news is that you can't get here from anywhere!"

The recent storm buried Tahoe. While Kirkwood  (to the south) only got 5 feet, the Interstate 80 areas (to the north) got up to 8 feet.

Snow removal is better now than in the early '90s. However, the highways in and out of the Tahoe Basin were closed, and, for a time, you couldn't get here from anywhere!

Enjoy!

P.S. The resorts are following new pandemic rules, which require RESERVATIONS. So don't just drive to Tahoe and expect to ski. Do your research and get your reservation first.
