Even though it has not snowed in the past few days in Telluride, the conditions have been amazing. I took out the Volkl AC 30 from my favorite local Telluride ski shop and cruised down some steep and very long groomers all day long. Great weather and great runs made for an awesome day on the slopes!

Christmas came and went, now South Lake Tahoe is gearing up for a great New Years celebration. The town is swarming with tourists and the mountains are covered with plenty of the white stuff, so it’s time to ring in the new year and welcome a fresh decade. The forecast for this week is looking good, so get those ski and snowboard rentals waxed and ready for Heavenly Ski Resort. Stateline, NV is preparing for a serious celebration. Montbleau Casino is hosting a variety of parties, as well as Harrah’s and Harvey’s Casinos. With so much to do, one is posed with the question of which parties to attend? If you are looking for a crazy time, one could just head down to the State-line and join all of the revelers in the streets. As for me, I am going to have a few folks over to my house for an old-fashioned BBQ and some drinks. Whatever you may choose, be safe, have fun, and Happy New Year!

It looks like there’s more precipitation headed for Heavenly Ski Resort this week. After plenty of snow covered the Lake Tahoe area, more is likely to fall and give Tahoe tourists fantastic skiing conditions. Snowfall totals last week were reaching epic levels and it doesn’t look like we will be disappointed this week either. Storms are predicted to keep pounding the Tahoe Basin and give us the white Christmas we all pray for. Lake Tahoe winter business owners are all extremely excited with the way this winter season has started off and are hopeful for a busy swiping season. Hopefully these predictions are valid because snow brings tourists > tourists bring money & money helps our local economy remain strong (not to mention making all the resorts pulse with all the fresh powder). The Farmers Almanac may just be correct this year and, if so, no one is going to be disappointed except for maybe the beach bums. Scrape those ski and snowboard rentals and don’t forget to pray for snow.

Ask and you shall receive. Heavenly gets a fresh coating of the white stuff. Last night almost a foot of fresh snow dumped on the Lake Tahoe mountains. I guess everyone was praying extra hard in the Tahoe Basin because we were answered with lots of frozen precipitation and more is on the way. Get your ski and snowboard rentals out of the garage because it looks like we are shaping up for a pretty good winter season. Heavenly has now been open for two weeks and is quickly opening more runs each day for guests to ski. I for one am extremely excited to see the snow on the hill again, and I can’t wait to get up and make some more fresh turns. Keep praying South Lake Tahoe, it’s working!

Wow what a scene. Halloween at Heavenly gets pretty crazy. Most of the Freaks come out at night, but in this case the daytime and at night. Multiple clubs in South Lake Tahoe have huge Halloween shin-digs but the Freaker’s Ball seems to top them all. Folks from every walk of life seem to come out of the wood-work and celebrate this amazing holiday. Not just the crazy young kids but housewives and clergies all have fun in the scene. No other holiday do we get to dress up as any wicked thing we can think of, (the more wicked the better), women parade around in thongs, and everyone who isn’t in costume is the weirdo. The two main spots of this madness is the Montbleu and Harrah’s casinos. Their clubs get packed with party-goers and all the happy revelers they can fit to capacity. This year I was the 70s one-piece suited skier with my four snow bunnies to escort me anywhere I went, it was a blast. Honestly, I am just ready for the snow to fall and break my ski and snowboard rentals out of the closet. Halloween always marks the “where the hell is the snow” conversations and this year is no different! We are all praying for the white stuff and hopefully the skies will provide it sooner than later.

One of the most important features of a car in Heavenly valley that gets neglected, the tires, can really make a difference in the life of a car. Living in South Lake Tahoe, you really have to pay attention to your tire tread and be aware of how worn it is. How little is too little, this is the big question. This really is essential during the winter months and to ensure a safe ride around town. Many locals will find themselves trying to push the life of the tire further than it should safely go. Just last year, on New Years Eve, I was guilty of such a mentality. I was driving out of a shopping center and the snow burms had been built to the point where one could not see around the corner. At about five miles an hour, I came around the enbankment to find another truck directly in front of me. I pumped my brakes and low and behold I skidded right into her. I tried my hardest to steer out of the way but to no avail, we connected and it was a headache. Later that night I inspected my truck, and the tires, and I realized that it was all due to the lack of tread. Luckily none of my new ski or snowboard rentals were in the truck or they would have been destroyed. So, word to the wise = Check your tires and make sure you replace the ones that need it, it could save you a huge headache or even your life in the future.

The switch of seasons is most apparent in a resort town like Whistler where so many changes occur. When you live in a city or rural town, you feel the air get cooler and the leaves change colour and fall, but things don’t really change that much. In Whistler the Gondola stops running, shops and restaurants close up, the once crowded village echos in its emptiness. The change is very apparent.

During this quiet time, many locals go away to vacation – very important to rest up for the next crazy busy season. Soon enough the Whistler ski hire shops will be crowded with people anxious to head up the mountains.

At this time of year when we see our breath and the snow at the top of the mountains, we start getting the ski itch. And of course, we can’t help but wonder will it be a good snow year? Will the kids be wearing snow boots on Haloween? Will the mountains open early? Will we get the kind of pow that makes us late for work and makes our knees weak? This is all healthy wondering, but this season in Whistler and Vancouver the weather is a big concern.

What is to come for the ski and snowboard events during the Olympics? Will it be socked in and soupy as is so often the case in Whistler or will we have those bluebird days that keep us coming back for more? No matter what happens, the fact is we can’t change it. The Games will go on no matter what Mother Nature has in store. So grab your Whistler ski equipment rentals, get up the mountains and let the games begin.

Everyday is a blessing up here in Alpine country. There is always so much to do, due to our amazing landscape. Summer activities are so much fun and really make the time fly. From our gorgeous mountains to the deepest, bluest lake in the country, we have it made. Yesterday, I drove my friends boat all over the lake, end to end, and still made time for a late afternoon bike ride. Today I met up with the usual suspects and we went to raise hell on the golf course. My game is usually awful, but the wind was blowing at my back on every hole and golf balls were diving for the green. It was magical. It has also been getting so chilly lately that my mind is concentrating on the weather and when the snow will finally fall. This has caused me to go through the garage, grab my ski rentals and snowboard rentals and tune them to a pristine condition. I just can’t wait for Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe to open their lifts and let me carve some serious turns. See you on the slopes.

Many people live for life on the beach, the city, the farm, but up here in Alpine country we live for the snow. The seasons are changing up here and attitudes are shifting from the beach to Heavenly Mountain. There are a lot of groans and complaints, mainly form the women who don’t want to forfeit their sunny days in the sand, but, truth be told, the majority of the folks up here are praying for an early snowfall. The past couple of seasons we haven’t received very much snow until the middle of December. As weather trends have shown us in the past, a few late seasons eventually build up for a great early one, and that is exactly what we are wishing for.

There really is nothing like hitting South Lake Tahoe’s Heavenly Mountain right after a serious dump of the white stuff. Last year, I was lucky enough to have the day off from work and be able to experience this phenomenon first hand and break in my new ski rentals. It was a Sunday night and it had not stopped snowing for three days, so I knew Monday morning was going to be the pristine day on the hill. We received close to four feet in three days and Monday it was supposed to clear up. The weather man was actually correct and Monday the skies cleared, the ski resort had 40″ of fresh snow, and I was waiting for the first chair up the mountain. The lines were beginning to fill up, all of the local powder hounds and super lucky tourists were anxiously awaiting the ski lift to begin carrying folks to the top, and I had just finished my coffee, perfect timing. The ski lift began running, everyone’s brand new ski and snowboard rentals all freshly waxed, and smiles all around, we all started one of the best days of the season. It was one of those days when your ski rentals couldn’t go fast or high enough to keep up with the adrenaline your body was producing. By the end of the day, which was around 1pm for me, your body was aching, thighs burning, and soles of your feet stinging from pure jubilation of the perfect ski day. I and many others like me, I believe, live for these days and if everyone in the world could experience just one day like this one, I think we would be living in a much more peaceful world.
