Its a crap shoot.
Some years can be awesome. I can also remember rain at 11,000 feet and major flooding one year and riding my bike around SLT because there was no snow.another.

Question - I've got an opportunity to buy a deeded timeshare at Heavenly cheap. One week is # 50 (mid December). What's the snow coverage and crowds like there during December. Ok. Enough clowning, I'll try to give you a straight answer. I've never been to Tahoe, but week number 50 isn't crowded anywhere. In fact, some destination resorts are practically giving accomodations away at that point in the season - for instance, a luxury slopeside condo at Tremblant goes for about Motel 6 rates that particular week. Yes, the snow coverage can be iffy that early in the season, the solution is to plan your trip and prepare to relocate at the last minute depending on the weather. So, my advice woud be to avoid locking yourself into a specific destination the second week of December. And unless the timeshare is *really* cheap, you can probably do substantally better by just renting - shoulder season is a buyers market. Just watch out for that lift-served backcountry groomed off-piste breakable crust slush powders that may or may not be in the trees. -Walt |

They hire 6 Kiwis to come up and make the snow. The Kiwis ROCK! Granted, it is just a guess, but since they have been using the rocking Kiwis, they are generally open mid October.
