The 2009-2010 ski season is starting to wind down. Most of the ski resorts have closed, and the snow is slowly melting. There is still wonderful backcountry avalible; however, this will not last forever. Memorial Weekend will be the last weekend for ski resorts in the Tahoe region. Squaw Valley will be opening back up this weekend for one last hoorah, and will be closing on Monday. Donner Ski Ranch will also be closing on Monday. So, what do we do after the ski resorts have closed and the backcountry has melted? There are a few options; one of which is the olympic training facility in Park City, Utah. Mt. Hood Orgon is also a great option, and for those with the money, the southern hemisphere is just starting thier winter. This blog will be discussing the current skiing in the backcountry around the Tahoe Truckee area, until it is gone, after which, we will be covering in more detail the summer chioces for skiers.
