Northstar has this reort on their website:
"It's snowing!! Mother Nature is smiling on us with 10-12 inches of new snow and it continues to fall. Coupled with the largest snowmaking system on the North Shore, we have some of the best skiing and riding conditions in the Tahoe region. "

How is it possible for them to get a ft of snow when the rest of North Lake Tahoe is at 38degrees and 4 inches of rain? ITS NOT! Thats pretty low for marketing to resort to such messures.
Straight up lie. BAD northstar..Bad

dude, i would do the same thing, look at it from a buisness perspective, who are you worried about, a couple of baggy panted kids with season passes, or hordes of asians with millions of dollers to spend from the bay. i would lie through my teeth, because by the time that they got to the resort, they would have already had to pay for food, lodgining, and a ticket for the day

good way to make sure they NEVER come back, in business honesty is always the best policy.....even if not in the short term.

long term? there are so many asians that its like a rotation that once you scam one set, a new group will come through and u just keep scamming...i doubt that they plan on making long term customers out of tourists who live nowhere near tahoe.

actually its the tourists who dont live near tahoe that they want the most.....the people who have to pay for lodging, dont buy season passes, probably need a rental car, and have to eat out at restaurants yo

Look guys, its always been this way, ever since ski areas first started reporting new snow and such. If theres a cloud in the sky, that means they are going to tell you there is snow.

Just dont get caught up in the bullshitting.

Yeah, Heavenly is always trying to say they are the best at everything. They built that Galaxy lift or whatever only in order to say they have the longest Vertical drop in America, and they are always claiming to have the most skiable acres, when Vail is of course the real leader in that category.

I like heavenly, but they are just a total buisness run hill, Go to Homewood, They dont lie if there is snow or not, no gapers, and your almost guerenteed powder for weeks after a big storm. Not the steepest stuff in the world, but man, that Quail bowl can kick your ass if you dont know how to ski powder, which is all you will find over there.

its vail resorts....they claim anything over two inches to be a powder day.

at least at breck, skistoned, and vail if it snows lets say 5 inches.....they will find a wind drift somewhere, put there measuring stick there, and claim 15 inches.

keystone got in trouble for it a few years back, not sure on the details.

every mountain does that shit... it sucks.. but seems like will just have to put up with it... Kirkwood is claiming 18-30" in the last 24 wtf is that? a variance of a full foot of snow? are they measuring their plow piles?
