Skiers and snowboarders are celebrating an epic start to the New Year. The first week of 2008 has already delivered a powerful punch with 8 feet of powder from the latest Lake Tahoe snowstorm at Heavenly Ski Resort . According to Russ Pecoraro, Heavenly Ski Resort’s director of communications, this weekend’s snowstorm is the biggest one to hit Heavenly Ski Resort since 1995, sparking some to call it “The Storm of the Century.”

Last weekends storm left an amazing 11 feet of fresh powder snow at Kirkwood with another 5 to 9 feet at other ski areas around Lake Tahoe. Around 2 to 4 feet of snow fell by the lakeside during the three-day storm which resulted in numerous road closures and delays.

New Year snowstorms have also pounded the Colorado Rocky Mountain resorts of

Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone, adding to the above-average snowfall this season. The latest storm delivered up to 2 feet of snow at Beaver Creek, 16 inches of powder at Vail and up to a foot at Breckenridge and Keystone.
