Ndandiqhele ukuva Ngaba kukho nekhephu apho? njengoko bendicwangcise uhambo lwam lwe-ski ukuya eLake Tahoe kunyaka ophelileyo. Ukuyeka ukungabi nathemba okwakucacisiwe ngokucacileyo kukuwa kwekhephu kunyaka ophelileyo, imetrikhi eyathethwa ngabantu bendawo ayinakuba mbi.
Kulungile.
Uninzi lweLake Tahoe Iindawo zokutyibilika ekhephini - Umthi wasekhaya ngumzekelo omnye — ivaliwe kakuhle phambi kokuphela kwexesha eliphakathi lokuskiya ngexesha lobusika lika-2014-2015 ngenxa yokunqongophala kwekhephu, ngelixa abanye abaqhubi balapha njengeenkampani zeemoto ezihamba kwikhephu, zingazange zivulwe kwaphela.
Ukukhawulezisa ukuya kweli xesha lokuskiya, kwaye uninzi lweeholide eLake Tahoe zivule iintsuku, kwaye kwezinye iimeko, iiveki ngaphambi komhla wokuqala wesiqhelo. ISierra-at-Tahoe , umzekelo, ilandele enye yokuvalwa kwexesha lokuqala ski kunye nosuku lwayo lokuqala lokuvula kwiminyaka elishumi. I-Terrain engakhange ibaleke kwiminyaka eliqela ngenxa yokugubungela okuphantsi konke kwenzeka ngequbuliso ekudlaleni, kwaye kuskiya kakhulu ebutsheni bonyaka.
Ndandibaleka kwiindawo zokuskiya ngeeholide ezingadli ngovulwa kude kube nguFebruwari kuba iLake Tahoe ifumene ikhephu elininzi, utshilo uMzantsi Lake Tahoe wengingqi kunye neembasa zegolide zasebusika ze-Olimpiki zasebusika ze-2014, uMaddie Bowman.
Ukusukela ngeveki yokuqala yasebusika, uninzi lweendawo zokutyibilika ekhephini iLake Tahoe zazigqithile okanye zazikufutshane ukugqitha ingqokelela yekhephu kuwo wonke unyaka ophelileyo. Ezulwini ibinekhephu ebingaphezulu kwe-160% yomndilili ngeli xesha, ngelixa IKirkwood , emazantsi emazantsi, yayikwi-170%. Okwangoku, kwicala elingasemantla echibini, iindawo zokutyibilika ekhephini njengeScaw Valley zibone uhlobo oluthile lokuqokelelwa phantse yonke imihla ukusukela oko kwavulwa, kwaye iSquaw neNorthstar, phakathi kwabanye, ibone ngaphezulu kwekhephu elinama-intshi angama-200.
Umyalezo wabahambi ulula: Musa ukulinda de kube sentwasahlobo ukuskiya. Ikhephu eliphezulu kunye nekhephu elingaphezulu komndilili livelise umhlaba kunye neemeko ongasoloko uzibona kude kube sebusika, njengoko uMaddie Bowman wakhankanya.

Iimeko ezinkulu ze-ski zibangelwe yi-El Niño, imeko yemozulu apho ukufudumala kwamanzi e-Pacific equatorial Pacific kuvelisa iziphepho ezizisa ngaphezulu kwemvula. Akusoloko kunjalo, kodwa ngokwe-JET Propulsion Laboratory ye-NASA, u-El Niño wazisa ikhephu elaliphindwe kabini eSierras ngo-1983 nango-1998. ILake Tahoe ibone uninzi lwekhephu layo ekwindla ngasekupheleni kweeveki zokuqala ebusika. Oko kuthetha ukuba oku kunokuba sisiqalo nje seemeko ezifanelekileyo zeskiki kuloo ndawo, kwaye ngakumbi ngokubanzi eCalifornia nakwezinye iindawo zeNtshona yeUnited States.
Oku kuthetha ntoni kwiLake Tahoe zezinye zeemeko eziphambili ze-ski kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo. Njengoko imbasa yegolide yeOlimpiki ebusika u-Hannah Teter wayibeka, iLake Tahoe ekugqibeleni ibuyela esiqhelweni, kwaye ibuyela kwisizathu sokuba ndifudukele apha kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo.

Nangona ikhephu lalo nyaka, nangona kunjalo, iimeko zemozulu, ezinje ngemimoya enamandla, ziya kuchaphazela iishedyuli zokuphakamisa kunye ne-gondola. Xa kunjalo, uSmaine ucebisa iSierra-at-Tahoe eMzantsi Lake Tahoe kunye neSugar Bowl okanye iNorthstar eMantla eLake Tahoe, ekhuselweyo ngakumbi emoyeni.
Iimeko zokuqala zasebusika zalo nyaka zixhamla kubantu abangashuseli emkhenkceni, nabo. Uninzi lwabasebenza ngaphandle kwasebusika sele luvulekile xa bengakhange bavule iminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ngenxa yokungabikho kwekhephu. Oku kubandakanya Ukusebenza kweekhephu zikaZephyr Cove, Oko bekusenziwa mihla le ngokujonga ikhephu ngetreyini yokuhamba ngeLake Tahoe ukusukela ngoDisemba.
