I'm not sure but I guess that around Lake Tahoe the ammount of snow at the end of winter time should be considerable. Many people thinks California weather is "Frisco weather" but is not

California is worldwide famous mostly for its biggest cities, esp for LA and SF. When hearing the word "California", most people think of the lavish lifestyle of Malibu and Beverly Hills. That's not California. It is, at most, just a part of it. The truth is that its landscape is so wide and diverse that you can really find a lot of different kinds of weather as well.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure that the biggest U.S. ski resorts are actually set in California.

I thought they would be in Colorado, like Aspen or Vail. However Lake Tahoe might be a very interesting place, I've found this: http://skilaketahoe.com/cms/tahoe_in...activemap.html

I guess the area around Yosemite can be pretty snowy at times. Would be nice to know a lil bit more.

Blue Canyon, CA has a yearly avarage snowfall (1914-2005) of 252 in. It's 170 kms north from Yosemite Prk (pretty close to lake Tahoe) and at about 1600 mts above sea level.

I think Mammoth Mountain ski resort (CA) is one of the biggest in the US... About 3500 acres... However, California is plenty of ski-areas... Clik here!
