Overnight temperatures

Hi, I hope you're having lovely day.

My partner and I are doing s roadtrip in cnaada and the USA and we'll be in lake Tahoe soon. We're sleeping in the car so we would like to avoid very low temperatures.

Where around the lake would the temperatures would be less cold, which towns?

Thank you so much for your help.

Any hope for Mount Rose opening this week?

I’m trying to ski next Sunday and judging by the web cams it looks pretty good. Any snow making experts that can predict the opening dates?

Bear Valley Livin’

I got an opportunity to move to Bear Valley, CA for the winter to ski. I would be leaving my current ski town in the PNW for this opportunity. Does anyone have experience living in the area?

SNO-Park Stake Recommendations?

For SNO-Parks:

Vehicles parked overnight need to be staked at all four corners with 1x2 inch by 8-foot poles to prevent accidental damage by snow removal equipment.

Does anyone have any recommendations for stakes (or a DIY setup) for this requirement? Ideally looking for something that telescopes or can be broken down to fit in a car.

And what would you use to hold them on the (presumably plowed) ground?

Ski resorts or hotel?

Hello all! Are “ski resorts” just hotels with access to skiing?? I’m looking to come to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe to ski early next year with my family. We’re driving from Texas and that’s why it’s not the CA side. Hoping is a bit less of a drive. But I was looking into resorts and I’m confused! Zero resorts I’ve looked into are both rooms and ski slopes. Am I missing something?? Am I reading it wrong. They all say ‘2 miles away’ or ‘transportation included’. My parents are coming and are going to want to watch the toddler while my husband and I are out so I want to be in the same place if possible. I don’t want to leave in case we need to hurry back to room for one reason or another. Any advice help. I’m just going crazy wondering what is going on with these “ski resorts” that don’t have skiing at them. THANK YOU.

Blackout day crowds at heavenly

Are blackout/peak days too crowded at heavenly with long lift lines? Most base/local passes exclude these dates so I was wondering if they might not be as bad... example: 26 Dec to 1st Jan is listed as peak dates

Living in Tahoe for ski season

Trying to find the best way to situate myself close to palisades for this ski season. Looking to rent for a few months, minimum like 2-3. Not really sure where to start or where to look, as most of the options I see online for renting a place are for longer term rentals. Any advice for where I should look? Any other advice in general about renting / living in Tahoe? I'd be potentially open to south lake as well, but I am mostly prioritizing skiing so it would make more sense to go for something in the north side. Also I guess I should point out that I am on a budget, and can't really afford to spend lots of money. I just mostly want a place to sleep, cook, and rest.

Northstar Village accommodations - Catamount vs Big Horn?

I am looking for accommodations in Northstar Village. I stayed in Catamount and found it very nice and convenient. However, I noticed that Big Horn is very close to the slops as well, and they have 2 BR condos at a similar price point to Catamount's 1 BR. Does anyone have any comments on one vs the other?

Are there any good mountains about 30-45 mins away from palisades Tahoe that wouldn’t be very crowded around Presidents’ Day? Just looking for a smaller ish mountain to go to for one day instead of palisades. Thanks!

Was thinking sugar bowl or sierra. Money doesnt really matter here since I’m already shelling out however much money to go to palisades.

The village at palisades Tahoe lodging.

I’m going to Palisades/ Squaw Valley whatever you want to call it. I already booked the village at palisades hotel for 6 nights. I just realized that everline resort also exists. I cannot cancel anymore because the everline room that i would get cannot hold the people I am going with. Is the village hotel good? I read reviews on the internet but I want to know a little more from people who have gone there recently and care more. Thanks!
