Tahoe powder is deep for Spring Break fun

If you’re not spending your Spring Break in the Tahoe Sierra, you’re are missing out on the best conditions of the season as the region has been blasted by yet another round of Miracle March storms. In the last week, Tahoe ski areas have been blasted – and we do mean blasted – by foot after foot of fresh snow. And, there’s more on the way.

Look for more snow heading into the Tahoe Sierra early Saturday and Sunday mornings dropping down to 6,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.
