China Peak will open for the season on Friday, following a storm that dropped plenty of fresh snow on the runs, ownership says.
Saying it will be the best opening the ski resort will have had in a decade, Tim Cohee, president of the California Mountain Resort Company, said the storm is creating conditions rarely seen.
“Rarely happens like this in my five decades of ski biz,” Cohee said in an email to GV Wire.
Conditions Ripe for Friday Opening
After hitting south of Lake Tahoe, California’s most recent storm put a bullseye on China Peak, Cohee said. They’ve added two feet of snow since Monday with heavy snows continuing when he responded at 11:45 a.m.
While the system produced a relatively warm downpour, the storm still brought snow to elevations above 7,000 feet.
National Weather Service Hanford anticipates a total of between 11 to 17 inches of daytime snow added Tuesday to the area above Shaver Lake. Another one to three inches of snow could be added Tuesday night.
But beginning Wednesday, the skies should clear up. Skiers can expect mostly sunny conditions all weekend with highs near 38 degrees.
Season passes for the park are on sale now.
