| March 04, 2009 | | Steep ski area terrain expansion now open in Lake Tahoe | If you are a ski expert (and don't mind a brush with death) you might find the challenge of Huckleberry Canyon near South Lake Tahoe exhilarating. This new ski terrain is rated double diamond, and it offers an amazing chance to literally ski down a mountain.
All the way down.
Here is what the Mercury News offers about the new ski run at Huckleberry Canyon:
Doug Schwartz, a senior
member of the ski patrol who has often ventured into the canyon for
thrilling descents, said Huckleberry offers some 100-foot-plus jumps
off the top plus terrific tree skiing through strands of red fir and
white pine. ...
Access into the cliff-laced
canyon is via the existing Grandview chairlift. Even those lacking the
ability to ski the new terrain can get a good look into the scenic
gorge from the top of the lift near the 360-degree Smokehouse BBQ.
