Though with lesser slopes and tree skiing, you are probably pretty safe. There's dozens of good peaks and areas to ski, parking is the main issue. We have Sno-Park, and you can get towed at some places, or a ticket. Maybe old details in my guide, we cannot stay updated as things do change quickly and no one tells me anything. Used to be I'd go out every weekend, but the local enviro club got rid of us all. A great sport, but as no one made any money off of it, it died. I'd recommend skiing for conditions, north facing slopes are the best for powder, but with sun and GW, it's hard for me to say now.

1000Pks- Vitaliy M and I plan on doing some Tahoe area peaks this winter- probably beginning in January for the most part. Do you want to meet up?

Haven't skied since 2003, so I'd be weak and slow. I carry tons of gear, and take loads of pictures. My boots may fall apart, they are so old, and skis can crack in half.

We'd have to meet beforehand, I do not waste my time on wannabes or pranks. Or video chat to get to know each other. I'd probably have to relearn my tele technique at a resort, the fastest way, and that is $$ for me. Probably best to do it without me. I've seen it all and done it all. I put myself and my gear at risk to do it again. And for what?

I would never go back to snowshoes, and that you suggest crampons indicates some bad inexperience in the winter Northern Sierra. Love to carpool anytime but I need to know your driving and you. Sounds like a big NOOOO...
