Fresh tracks await at Tahoe Donner today, April 27, 2025! Overnight temperatures hovered around 34°F, bringing a light but welcome 3 inches of new snow. The snowpack stands at a solid 46 inches, though that's about 16 inches below the seasonal average. Conditions are packed powder with a soft top layer — perfect for carving turns under panoramic views from Hawk’s Peak. Another 2 inches are expected to fall today, and a promising 10-inch storm system is on the horizon for early next week, setting up an exciting stretch for spring skiing.
Despite a lighter snow year, both natural and manmade snow have kept the mountain in fine form. Remember, safety is a top priority this season following recent regional chairlift incidents, so please stay alert on the lifts. After a day on the slopes, consider catching some live music: the California Honeydrops are playing at the CBC, and Dark Star Orchestra will rock Harrah's at Lake Tahoe. Tahoe Donner's season may be winding down, but with new snow and vibrant local events, it's the perfect moment for an epic spring ski day.
