Let’s go over the numbers. More than 520 inches of snow this season, over 25 powder days, and countless happy skiers and snowboarders – it’s been a great year for sure. With just 9 days left to enjoy the slopes of Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort, here’s the update on a little tradition we like to call Community Day.

CONGRATS TO SIERRA RESORT’S HANNAH TETER who took Silver in the 2010 Winter Games Women’s Halfpipe last night! GO HANNAH! The only American woman to take two Olympic medals – gold and silver – in the last two winter games!
Celebrating a great first run
Riding the wave of excitement after the 2010 Winter Games Halfpipe events, skiers and snowboarders at Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort are enjoying the 400 foot long Superpipe – the only Superpipe on South Shore – which opened last weekend.
TransWorld SNOWboarding ranked Sierra Resort’s terrain parks and Superpipe in the nation’s Top 10 in the 2010 Resort Guide and it is easy to see why with 5 award-winning terrain parks that are super dialed in right now and tons of fun for jibbers.
Season passholders are commenting on local web sites and blogs that Sierra Resort’s terrain parks are the best they’ve seen in years – the features are creative and well maintained, the flow through the parks is fluid, and the vibe is fun and welcoming.
In addition, snow conditions at Sierra Resort are at their peak – with a 90 inch base and 317 inches of cumulative snowfall for the season, the Park Crew has had plenty of snow to translate their most innovative ideas into a freestyle reality. Some of those ideas include a propane tank turned on end, repurposed into a bonk. Another is an urban-inspired stair set with two 35-foot handrails for sliding.

No CommentsThe Sierra summer construction crew has been busy this off-season focusing their expertise in West Bowl. The Baja Grill & Corona Cantina are a favorite hang-out for guests on beautiful blue sky days – something about lounge chairs, beers with lime slices, and fish tacos. It’s like a little piece of Mexico right here in Tahoe.

It’s been a big year for Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort in the movies. The latest release onto the big screen that was filmed in part here at the resort is Warren Miller’s new flick Dynasty.
Check out the trailer here:
Dynasty celebrates 60 years of Warren Miller Films. Narrated by Johnny Moseley and presented in HD, the film blends fresh footage and vintage Miller clips. Hard core Sierra lovers will recognize some of the rock and cliff drops as well as the wide open powder turns in Huckleberry Canyon. There are also plenty of shots from South Shore’s backcountry, including the easily-recognizable Mt. Tallac.
Check out the tour schedule to see the movie in its entirety at a location near you.
Dynasty caps off a pre-season of big screen entertainment that put Sierra-at-Tahoe in the spotlight. Already showing is TransWorld SNOWboarding’s Team Shoot Out, Standard Films Production Black Winter, TWS’s 20 Tricks: Volume 3, and TWS’s Get Real, The Movie.

1 CommentSnow lovers across Northern California are starting to turn their eyes toward the mountains, looking for those first signs of the winter to come. Here at Sierra Resort, we’ve already seen 9 inches of snow in October and are looking toward a wet November, if forecasts are to be believed. As I write this, flurries are starting up outside.
So what do we do until the season begins? Well, we Pray For Snow of course! And no one can Pray For Snow like Sierra can. If you’ve been to one of our Pray For Snow parties, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, here’s the skinny:

Call me a ski bum. It would be fair. I came to Tahoe right out of college (as a Religion major no less!), started waiting tables to make it through the winter and had every intention of heading home come summertime to get a real job. That was almost 10 years ago...

I moved to the Truckee - Tahoe area three years ago from the San Francisco Bay Area to escape city life and live in the place I had always loved to visit. When I used to visit the Tahoe area, it was always very hard to leave. It finally became time to make Tahoe "home"... » Read More
