areas and ski resorts’ extending their closing dates.
It’s
spring skiing at its best, and skiers and snowboarders are soaking
up the Lake Tahoe sunshine while hitting the slopes and taking
part in some of the area’s most wacky and wild on-mountain
events.
On
April 5, guests at Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose – Ski Tahoe
create high-flying dummies made of cardboard, metal and other
objects of every shape and size and send them off big jumps
as part of the resorts’ Dummy Downhill events. Prizes
are awarded for best runs.
At
Squaw Valley USA, taking a ski break means lounging and sunbathing
