RENO — A week of snow is raising spirits at Sierra ski resorts that had been off to a slow start this season.
Up to another foot of snow fell late Thursday and early Friday in the upper elevations around Lake Tahoe on the heels of a storm that dumped more than a foot in some areas the day before.
The most new snow was reported on the northwest end of the lake — 12 inches at Squaw Valley and 10 inches (25 cm) at Alpine Meadows.
Homewood and Sierra-at-Tahoe got 7 inches, Sugar Bowl 6, Northstar 5 and Mt. Rose 4.
The National Weather Service says there’s a slight chance of snow in the Tahoe area on Saturday but otherwise party cloudy conditions are forecast into next week.
