Fresh powder means ski resorts open earlier
Fresh snow fell on parts of the Sierra this week, prompting at least three ski resorts to open early. Several more resorts are also expected to open their doors sooner than usual.
Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, Boreal Mountain Resort, and Mammoth Mountain are already open. Alpine Meadows will open Thursday.
Heavenly Mountain Resort and Northstar California will open Saturday, six days earlier than planned. Squaw Valley Ski Resort will also open Saturday.
