The skiing and riding was quite good Monday at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, thanks to 8 inches of new snow. Squaw Alpine officially hit the 400-inch mark of cumulative snowfall for the 2017-18 winter season. After 227 inches of snow (nearly 19 feet) fell in March alone, the resort has seen several April storms and now has 403 inches this season.
The season won’t be over soon. Closing day for Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is scheduled for Memorial Day, May 28, weather and conditions permitting. That means skiers and riders have more than 40 days left in the season.
Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows announced this week a “Spring Vertical Challenge.” Running through April 30, the Spring Vertical challenge will reward guests who ski or snowboard 10,000 or more vertical feet in one day with special offers in The Village at Squaw Valley. The following offers are valid between 3-5 p.m. on any day in April for App users who skied 10,000 or more vertical feet that same day.
Eight Lake Tahoe ski resorts closed Sunday (April 15) in what was an up-and-down 2017-18 ski season.
There was a promising start to this ski season, but dismal snow totals in January and February looked to derail the winter sport. However, multiple storms arrived in March to give the ski season a strong finish. Many resorts will be closing with a good amount of snow still on their slopes.
Closing Sunday were Diamond Peak, Northstar California, Soda Springs, Granlibakken, Boreal Mountain, Homewood Mountain, Sugar Bowl, Sierra-at-Tahoe, and Tahoe Donner. Granlibakken shut down its snow hill Monday.
