April 6, 2010 (South Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev.) – Lake Tahoe South Shore (http://www.TahoeSouth.com) is prepared for a major weekend of skiing and riding with 1.5 to 2.5 feet of light dry powder falling in the past 24 hours on area ski resorts: Heavenly Mountain Resort, Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort and Kirkwood Mountain Resort. Weather is forecasted to clear up throughout the week with temps in the mid to high 50s ( www.noaa.gov ) providing Lake Tahoe with convenient access and deep powder spring skiing conditions under abundant sunshine.

South Shore’s beach parties on the snow are in full force,” said Carol Chaplin, executive director of the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority. “This extra shot of snowfall packs a heavy punch to an already strong winter in Lake Tahoe, reinforcing our legendary reputation for great spring skiing.”
