There’s a lot for Tahoe skiers and snowboarders to be excited about this winter: new gondolas and faster chairlifts, better deals on passes and day tickets, newly-opened hotels, and the return of pre-pandemic traditions and events.

Weather-wise, this will be the third La Niña season in a row, which usually means drier weather south of the lake and wetter storms to the north, but roughly average snowfall for the region overall.

This season will likely be similar, according to Bryan Allegretto, the Tahoe-area forecaster for OpenSnow.
