A nice wet storm blew through the basin on Saturday leaving a blanket of white powder across the landscape. While anticipated and forecast, it's always good to "look" at the weather. Today is Easter Sunday and resorts often hope there's enough base to last through this holiday weekend. Many visitors took a chance and came prepared for some time on the slopes. The slight dump measure in inches or maybe as much as a foot up above. No matter where you spent money on a ticket, you were rewarded with some new snow. I-80 was closed for 8 hours Saturday and may have cut short some drivers' expectations of clear sailing to the Lake. But, weather forecasts were pretty accurate.
On top of all this, the owners of Homewood Reosrt announced last weekend that they might just choose a new approach to the ski season: a club membership scheme with some day custormers on a limited basis. This scheme will certainly change Homewood as we Tahomans know it. Our own little resort seemed like a "club" anyway. Small scale, somewhat isolated, and with a glorious view of Tahoe's Deep Blue lake right in front. Details were not listed as the announcement only made for news media without much depth. We'll be watching and listening as plans evolve from the San Francisco-based company that owns the property. They've been sitting on approved plans for a lake front village for quite a few years but nothing has taken shape.
