*The Skinny
The CREW has been all over the Tahoe Basin the last few days, Heavenly, Diamond Peak and Sugar Bowl today. All have great coverage on the main slopes, and today was one of the best we've had in this snow-limited season. The forecast does not have any major storms, but some smaller stuff inbound to keep the groom fresh.
