re: 2018-2019 Season Long Ski Thread

It’s been dumping snow the past three days here in Sourh Lake Tahoe.
Think it’s around four feet in three days and not supposed to stop until around noon tmrw.
Lot of wind holds the past two days, especially today.
Tips:
-If there’s a chance of wind holds, then the gondola shuts down before most other lifts.
They’ve always had free shuttles that run from Stagecoach/Boulder and California bases back to the village/gondola, but they shut the bus system down other than a few shuttles that cost $4. The problem is that they’ve gone from a lot of shuttles running all day to just a few small ones. If you get stuck in NV or CA side, you may wait a long time for a shuttle.
-The best green to learn on is at Boulder lodge (Boulder Bowl). It’s long, wide, and flat.
-Food: California Burger, Bass Camp Pizza, Azul Latin Kitchen (try the different tacos), Poké Rok, Sushi Pier (AYCE if you want to pig out and try different sushi), Raley’s Grocery store (deli, hot bar, sandwich bar, sushi options, lots of premade meals; healthy foods), Fire and Ice (same bldg as Marriot; Mongolian grill)
-Everywhere has happy hours and craft beers
-Sports Ltd next door to Raley’s has a large selection of gear/clothes if you need buy anything
-Powderhouse does fourth day free if you’re renting ski gear. Think there’s nine locations.
**Beware of the casinos. They love to take donations.
This is my 16th-17th trip here.
Any specific questions? Food? Nightlife? Casinos?

My main questions are more logistics related.
The landing in Tahoe, getting the car, navigating the drive to SLT if it happens to be snowing/chain control type situation. And then getting back to the airport once the trip is over.
