Another Tahoe ski resort delays season opener, citing warm and dry weather
Another Tahoe ski resort is delaying its season opener due to weather. Sugar Bowl Resort announced this week that it won’t be able to open its slopes Friday as planned.
“We had held onto hope as long as we could but with a forecast calling for more mild and dry weather in the week ahead, we must delay the start of our winter season,” Sugar Bowl said in a Monday post to its website.
The resort, on the north side of Lake Tahoe just south of Soda Springs, does not yet have a rescheduled season-opening date.
Sugar Bowl joins Heavenly and Northstar in having to push back their openings due to warm, dry weather. The latter two, both operated by Vail Resorts, announced they would not be open by the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and also have no updated opening date. Those two had been scheduled to begin their seasons last Friday.
Another Lake Tahoe-area property, Sierra-at-Tahoe, remains closed, but due to damaged infrastructure from the Caldor Fire and supply chain problems impacting the ability to make repairs. Sierra-At-Tahoe is targeting an early 2022 opening.
Palisades Tahoe, meanwhile, opened its slopes early, in response to the heavy dumping of snow from late October’s bomb cyclone and atmospheric river storms.
