STORY
SUMMARY: February 5, 2008 -
January 2008 will go down as one of the snowiest months in Lake
Tahoe history, and that, followed by a huge storm over the first
weekend of February, sets up superb conditions at North Lake
Tahoe resorts for the weeks ahead.
FOOTAGE
DESCRIPTION: Footage includes shots of skiers and snowboarders
taken at Mt. Rose and Diamond Peak, scenic shots of Lake Tahoe
as well as sound bites (see below) shot Monday and Tuesday,
February 4-5, 2008.
SUGGESTED
COPY: Powder is king in North Lake Tahoe, where a record-breaking
January left more than 17 feet of new snow to the delight of
skiers, snowboarders and outdoor winter enthusiasts. And it
just keeps on coming with four-plus feet of powder blanketing
the region in the first few days of February.
Today,
Lake Tahoe awoke to sunshine and blue skies – the perfect
backdrop to the snowy Sierra Nevada peaks. Whether skiing, snowboarding,
snowshoeing or snowmobiling, the conditions are the best resorts
have seen all season and just in time for the President’s
Day holiday.
