Lake Tahoe area looks just Heavenly with fresh snow
A few days ago, we showed you Mammoth Mountain wearing its first thin blanket of snow this season.
Now it's Heavenly's turn to appear in the Outposts spotlight. The above photo was snapped a few hours ago — as it was still snowing up high — from the resort on the shore of South Lake Tahoe, looking up from Heavenly Village.
Heavenly received more than four inches on the upper mountain. Click here to view some video of children doing what they do when the white stuff starts gathering on the ground.
In fact, the entire Lake Tahoe region was getting snow Friday, even at the lake level. It also was snowing in Reno, so this is a cold, wintry storm, which we suspect will reach Mammoth tonight.
Alas, the weather will warm up during the week and the coverage may shrink fast. But it's an indication of things to come ... we hope.
