Participating students in the 2010 season will monitor snow depth, snow water equivalent, and total snow; using a remote camera station, students will be able to monitor the winter wildlife in the forest surrounding the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area.
There are still spaces open for the 2010 season. Please call Valli Murnane at the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area, 530-583-5475.
