Relentless winter brings pros, cons for Tahoe ski resorts

Last winter, most ski resorts at Lake Tahoe had to postpone their usual November openings because there wasn’t enough snow. This season, several have been forced to close at times because there’s too much. A relentless winter has dumped more than 50 feet of snow on mountain resorts around the lake since December. The latest storm forced a half-dozen to shut down Friday. One resort spokesman says they've taken a bit of a financial hit. But locals who’ve been skiing at Tahoe for decades say any disruptions are offset by the premium, powdery snow conditions and being able to ski through the end of May.
