The scene February 12th.
It can snow, but still not enough to open. I sound like a broken record.
Thirty hours of snowing equaled a few inches of dry fluffy snow that you couldn't make into a snowball. Come on Mother Nature. Right now the kids don't need champagne powder. They need Sierra cement! NOAA says we get snow starting Monday and then continuing cold. Cold is what is keeping the snow we have here. Now add to it please!
Our resident helicopter pilot, Greg, flew his drone around to capture a look of the mountain on the 13th after the snow. Since this place is not a customer/ vendor arrangement but one where we are in this together, I am just trying to be totally honest here with what we have to work with.

He took off outside the lodge. What it shows is that the base area, where all the kids start, is not so good. Creeks and brush prevail. As he goes up the hill, the slopes actually look pretty covered. There is not a lot of snow there, not enough to drive a snow cat on, but what is there is covering up most the rocks. The work we have done grading is paying off. It is the Race Hill you see from town and it looks covered. Neighbors that don't buy their own skis were skiing on it. I have seen these folks ski on pine needles, so using them as a reference of conditions is not very prudent.
We need to get this base area covered in white. Mike and his group of groomers are itching to build a ski area the second they can. Let's go back to the good news. Cold is good, snowing is better and it is coming. Sky Tavern has no date to close by.
Sorry about the video. I am not the video kind of guy for editing, but figured it was only fair that you get an idea of why it looks good from town but I keep disappointing kids and their parents.
Yes, I caught the Subaru doing donuts in the lot. Of course it was an ex-Sky Tavern kid.
Lythia may be the ultimate upbeat Mom in the office, but she says we are going to get this going. She is convinced snow is coming so her daughter can ski before she turns two. She is part of a group of about 40 parents at the core of all this. They live, eat, breath Sky Tavern. They are the cheer leaders and the hardest working. Many are generations deep of volunteering. They were the ones here last year shoveling to get us open and now they are the ones that will be here doing everything they can when it snows.
Thank you,
Bill

Marce Herz was the person we all credit with creating the Sky Tavern Junior Ski Program in 1948. The Nevada Youth Ski Education Foundation and Sky Tavern are on a mission to have one of the new Washoe County schools named after her.
Take a look at the video to learn why she deserves this honor.
