Jumping Jehoshaphat! Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) opened on October 29th for the Halloween weekend, three weeks earlier than planned. I don’t ever recall any Tahoe ski resort opening that early, usually it is either Thanksgiving weekend or shortly after. Other resort openings:
- Northstar – 19 November
- Heavenly – 19 November
- Kirkwood – 3 December
While on the topic of ski resorts, can anyone name the state that has the most ski resorts? Let me know at president@niseiskiclub.org.

2022 NSC Ski Week to Steamboat, CO
The Steamboat trip is coming up and before you know it we’ll by packed into a giant metal tube and transported to our winter wonderland for a week of skiing, dining, and getting together with our NSC family. As a side note, all members have been vaccinated, but bring your masks in the event that they are needed in Steamboat establishments.
QotM: People who find excuses for their actions will never find the resolution.
