STORY SUMMARY: (NORTH LAKE TAHOE, California/Nevada) A series of storms hit North Lake Tahoe early this week, bringing nearly two feet of fresh snow in time for the three-day holiday weekend ahead.

FOOTAGE INCLUDES: Current footage from North Lake Tahoe taken at Squaw Valley USA and locations around North Lake Tahoe, on Tuesday, February 10th, plus soundbites (see below).

SUPPORTING COPY: North Lake Tahoe is known for its big snow, and February is already shaping up to deliver on the regions annual 500 inches.

With nearly two feet hitting the ski resorts upper elevations and more powder expected throughout the week, ski conditions are at their best this season, just in time for Presidents Day weekend. And with the largest concentration of ski resorts in the country, skiers and boarders choose from more resorts, more runs and more terrain than anywhere else in the United States. Its easy to be a part of the buzz - just click into a pair of boards and head down your favorite run. The camaraderie is catchy.

Dont ski? No problem. Rent a pair of skates and take to Northstar-at-Tahoes ice rink. In between laps, roast smores and sip hot chocolate by the fire pits. Or, rent snowshoes and take a peaceful snowshoe trip along the shore of Lake Tahoe. Shop till you drop at the Village at Squaw Valley, where PlumpJack Sport Accessories & Kids just opened with fashion-forward looks for adults and kids. Or, prime your snowshoe muscles at the Hyatt Regencys Stillwater Spa in Incline Village, where their Lake Tahoe Stones massage will put you in vacation relaxation mode.
