Boreal ski resort near Tahoe open 7 days a week
By Associated Press
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — A pair of days of ideal conditions for snowmaking in the Sierra and around Lake Tahoe last week has allowed Boreal Mountain Resort to open the slopes for skiing seven days a week.
Resort spokesman Jon Slaughter says Boreal opened for good on Friday thanks in part to a new snowmaking system. Before then, it had been open only on weekends. Slaughter says only one ski lift — the Castle Peak Quad — is open at this time. He says the adjacent run has an average base of 24 inches but the snow is up to 8 feet deep in some areas. That run includes at least 20 terrain park features for snowboarders, including jump lines, boxes, rails and a staircase. |
