Several feet of snow coming to Tahoe ahead of clear weekend forecast
Briefly

This weekend, Lake Tahoe is forecasted to receive 1 to 2 feet of fresh snow, with a winter storm warning effective from Thursday morning until noon Friday. Affected areas may experience high avalanche risk due to strong winds and dense snowfall, prompting caution for backcountry enthusiasts. Recent storms have already left over 3 feet of snow in some resorts, creating excellent skiing conditions. However, travel disruptions are anticipated, particularly along Interstate 80, due to blizzard conditions. Meteorologists expect the snowstorm to persist into Saturday and Sunday, enhancing the winter landscape.
A powerful storm with rapidly accumulating snowfall and strong winds may cause widespread avalanche activity in the mountains. Those eying the Tahoe backcountry this weekend should follow the daily forecasts from the Sierra Avalanche Center.
Thanks to continuous storms that began last weekend, some ski resorts north of Lake Tahoe are reporting more than 3 feet of fresh snow in the last seven days.
