Tahoe’s January Winter Storms

Winter storm warning? More like a winter storm welcome - Tahoe's storm door is open. Come into Start Haus in Truckee and get your gear dialed. Tahoe is welcoming our first winter storm of 2018, broken up in 3 storm fronts expected through Thursday, January 25. Overnight snow Thursday to Friday morning brought 10 inches of new snow above 6,500 feet and 2-5 inches at lake level. Squaw Valley and Sugar Bowl reported 10” of snow on the upper mountain through this morning. With afternoon storms, we could get another 1-3 inches by the time this storm front passes through tonight and we’re watching the storm coming in next week which could dump 1-2 feet of snow.

It will be clear by the weekend and cold air will help keep the snow in prime condition. High temperatures on Saturday, January 20 are expected to be only in the 30s at the base and 20s on the upper mountain. Another storm is forecast to move through Sunday night into the day on Monday with low snow levels, potentially adding another 2-4 inches at the top of the resorts and 1-2 inches at lake level.

Another wetter cold system is forecast to come through Wednesday, potentially bringing several inches or up to 2 feet of snow through Thursday! This could make for ideal skiing conditions the weekend of January 27, with a higher pressure system bringing sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures.

Keep doing those snow dances!!!
