Squaw Valley just announced today that they will be opening back up for skiing over Memorial Day weekend! With the continued snowfall the North Lake Tahoe has been receiving over the past few weeks, there is plenty of snow for a Memorial Day ski weekend.
Reduce, reuse, recycle…. go green… eco-friendly… however you want to say it, environmental awareness has become part of our daily lives!
Easter is early this year. So, if you are looking for some spring skiing and a fun Easter Egg Hunt, the local ski areas are hosting on-mountain events Sunday, April 4th for adults and kids alike!
Once again, it is the “Happiest Time at Tahoe.” North Lake Tahoe Snowfest! begins this Thursday, March 4th with the Kick Off Snowfest! Party at Gar Woods in Carnelian Bay. This week-long annual favorite is packed with tons of exciting events for the whole family. With so many options, sometimes it is hard to choose what to do! The staff at Tahoe Luxury Properties has gone through and picked out some of our favorite Snowfest! activities to help you plan your week.
Fireworks and a ’60’s Sweater Party at the Chamois in Squaw Valley were just two of the events that kicked off the start of the Olympic Heritage Celebration (January 8-17) on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.
Tahoe City is looking pretty scary these days with all the scarecrows, ghosts, and goblins hanging around town in preparation for Halloween. Our own scarecrow in a snow bank is decidedly less than frightening, unless you think about all the shoveling that might be happening this winter if El Nino hits! Be sure to cast your vote for your favorite five scarecrows by downloading a ballot from the Tahoe City Downtown Association. You could win a $25 gift certificate just for voting!
Come out and celebrate St. Patty’s Day in North Lake Tahoe! The sun is shining, and the skiing is great. And, we received 3 inches of new snow yesterday at higher elevations. Here are our favorite St. Patty’s Day festivities around the area:
2009 March activities around North Lake Tahoe
We packed up a picnic, launched our boat around 4, and headed to Tahoe City. We anchored just off of Commons Beach where we were treated to the sounds of Norton Buffalo. From the water, it looked like the beach was packed with people dancing and having a really great time. It was a beautiful day. We had a blast, and it was a great way to finish up the weekend. Every Sunday Commons Beach in Tahoe City hosts free music from 4-7pm. This is an amazing local event. Going on its 3rd year, Tahoe locals hope this event stays around for awhile. Fun for the whole family, low back chairs and blankets are allowed as well as food and drinks. Here is the schedule for the rest of the summer:
I went on the Lake of the Sky Garden Tour. I had never gone before and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. I had the opportunity to tour a total of 10 homes, five of which were Tahoe lakefronts. The gardens were fantastic and many had amazing water features. For an added touch, in the backyard of each of the homes, there were local artists’ paintings and artwork. I was proud to see that TLUXP had three homes on the tour this year, Greystone, Seek No Further, and Aspen Grove. These beautifully manicured yards will be worth enjoying well into the fall. Come stay in one of these homes, or any of our other homes soon. These next few months in Tahoe are my very favorite.
Well, yes, it finally rained a few drops over Lake Tahoe this past Sunday. Although we all love the sunshine the rain is welcomed every now and then due to the lack of it! There is no more rain in the forecast-the next week is sunny and clear with highs in the low 80s, typical Tahoe summer weather. There is some great music headed to Lake Tahoe this week.
The smoke filled skies are finally starting to clear up. For awhile you could not even see South Lake due to smoke over the lake but as of Tuesday you could see across the lake again. Conditions can change throughout the day.
