Clearing Thursday and Friday

WEDNESDAY May 18 9:50 AM

With more than a foot of new snow so far this week at 7000 feet, the latest storm system is now heading south and east, leaving scattered snow showers in its wake. Skies should gradually clear today and tonight with partly cloudy skies, especially near the Sierra Crest, on Thursday. We’ll see a continued chance of snow showers on the western slope of the Sierra, especially south of Tahoe, into Thursday.

Then a weak ridge of high pressure builds over the west, bringing temperatures back up to near normal by Friday and probably into Saturday. The forecast models are in conflict for the weekend, but it appears that temperatures will dip again. A system coming in out of the Pacific Northwest will dive across the Sierra, but it is too soon to tell whether it will stay mostly to the north of Tahoe or dip south of Interstate 80 and bring us more rain and snow.

Stay tuned for updates.

Temperature forecasts:

Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend in Keystone!

 

 

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and Keystone is the perfect place to spend your holiday weekend.   Keystone will host the annual Summer Remix to celebrate the warmer months the right way.  The Remix is the perfect excuse for the whole family to venture to Summit County.

From May 27-30th, there will be plenty of mountain activities to please the entire family.  Snow cones, free face painting, and live music for kids begin at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday, the 28th-29th.  Younger children can be registered for the Keystone Strider Race in River Run Village.  Registration is free, and starts at 10am on Saturday the 28th.  Geared towards kids under 6, strider bikes have no pedals and two wheels so that kids can use their feet to glide.  Visit www.stridersports.com for more information.

Older children and adults can take advantage of other Summer Remix activities like snow tubing, mountain biking and a rail park with 20 features, and yes, you can have a snow cone too!  Golfers can finally hit the links at the Keystone River Course.

The Summer Remix at Keystone Resort offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy all that the mountains have to offer.  The Remix is the perfect kick off to many wonderful summer activities in Keystone and Summit County.  Stay the weekend for a memorable trip with your friends and family!
