Hello Sliders!
Tons of ski related events this weekend! On November 4th:
Live in Sacramento? Check out the Sacramento Ski and Snowboard Show.
Also in Sacramento on the 4th: Sierra Snowboard Ski and Patio Show
sponsored by Sugar Bowl.
Bay Area, November 4th :
Icer Air/San Francisco Ski and Snowboard Festival at AT&T Park!
November 5th: Sports Basement SnowFest at the Sunnyvale Store.
Why attend you ask? Most of the shows offer some type of
free ticket incentive, but more important, it’s a chance to visit
one on one with your favorite resorts, see the latest in equipment
and just generally, get in the mood for the upcoming winter.
*Mike Pechner’s Snowcast!
First significant snowfall is inbound later next week.
Mike says there’s a good chance that this storm will provide
Tahoe ski resorts with enough snow to consider opening runs.
If you’re one of our sliders who thrive on getting first tracks,
clear your calendar next weekend.
Resorts report to me that they’ve begun to make snow.
Long Range Christmas Forecast: Mike says that Christmas week
this year looks clear and mild with plenty of snow.
If you’re booking a Christmas holiday, now is the time to start
reserving your lodging.
