Sierra open for half day Tuesday, top-bottom on Wednesday
Thanks to a generous La Niña storm over the weekend, Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort is looking forward to Tuesday — the earliest opening in six years.
More than 6 feet of snow fell at Sierra.
Easy Rider Express, Nob Hill and Rock Garden will begin turning at noon on Tuesday, accessing beginner, intermediate, and expert terrain and a medium-sized terrain park on Broadway.
Lift tickets will be $5 for kids, $20 for adults, with all proceeds going to local sports teams.
Sierra Resort will open top to bottom on Wednesday morning.
Beginner group and private lessons will be available for children and adults. Easy Street, Sierra Resort’s new beginner terrain featuring two carpet conveyor lifts and 11 acres of sculpted Smart Terrain, is projected to open Thursday for ski and snowboard lessons.
