I work out of town, so I hear the news out of Reno. Since late Oct., up to 20 feet of snow has fallen in the higher elevations. One of the ski areas around Lake Tahoe is rated second or third most snow in the world at the moment, other resorts are in the top ten. More coming by this weekend. Merry Christmas.
Some ski areas are giving a half day of free skiing if you show your airline boarding pass from having flown into the area. Not sure how long that lasts, may be just for the Christmas weekend.
