Your Tahoe season was a rollercoaster. Next year, don’t guess.
You drove 4 hours to Palisades for what was supposed to be a foot. It was 4 inches of Sierra cement. StormDrop would have told you to fly to Jackson instead.
25-26 Season Report
Here's how your mountains really performed.
Lake Tahoe — 143 storms tracked, 432" average season total.
Your Specific Problem
The I-80 chain control gamble. R-2 means 2 extra hours. R-3 means turn around. We predict chain controls before you leave your driveway.
This isn't a generic weather problem. It's the exact failure mode every bay area skiers deals with. StormDrop is built to solve it.
What you missed
While your home mountain underdelivered, other regions were firing.
StormDrop would have flagged these windows with flight and hotel links pre-filled.
Next season, StormDrop alerts you when one of these regions is about to fire — with available flights from SFO already loaded.

“NWS had 25–41″ for Vail from Sat night through Mon, which was a pipe dream. I think 12–24″ during the same period is more reasonable.”
