And the hits just keep coming for poor Lake Tahoe. After a dismal winter with unseasonably warm temperatures and not much snow, now one of the bigger and more popular ski areas, Sierra-at-Tahoe, just announced that they will be closing the lifts until they receive more snow. Sierra's normal closing date is usually at the end of April, although the resort did have a March closure in the 1970s. And while General Manager John Rice claims that the temporary closure "isn't goodbye; it's see you soon," the forecast for Tahoe ski areas isn't looking good.
