One of our favorite times to ski and ride in the backcountry is several days after the storm. The snowpack generally stabilizes with time and the snow surface dries out creating epic “recrystallized” pow conditions.
When the snow at the resorts has turned to moguls, give us a call and we’ll show you what vintage Tahoe pow is all about!

The snow has been incredible since the last storm cycle. Here’s a clip that @rachellightner captured of @theklimanfamily opening up a run on the south side of the Diamond a couple days ago. The north side is holding perfectly aged untracked pow at the moment, and we expect these conditions to last until the next storm cycle rolls in. Book a trip now and come check it out for yourselves.
