The perfect time to come up for a romantic getaway.

Yes, there is snow but it is not on the roads and it's just around for beautiful pictures and cute effects. It is uncrowded in North Tahoe and the boots on the ground fun has just begun. The hot tub is just perfect...and there are still areas where you can ski!

Fresh Snow in Tahoe!

It's glorious here! White and fluffy......the roads are fine and your favorite ski resort awaits your shouts of delight as you make your first run of the season.
Don't miss this one..........it's just what the doctor ordered. A little R&R from the city grind....a little holiday cheer........maybe just some private cozying up with your favorite book.

Happy Thanksgiving!

an avid skiier this evening. Will post further.

I will have further updates as I get real ski and snowboarders to rate their favorites. We had real snow and have been cold enough to make snow daily.
When I last went to Northstar it was absolutely amazing coverage and that was quite late in the spring.
All local restaurants have wonderful Thanksgiving dinners..
GarWoods just sent over a menu and it sounds too good!
North Lake Tahoe is home to some of the most enticing dining options in Northern California and Nevada. Foodies and casual diners alike find that some of our finer dining restaurants, like the Lone Eagle Grille in Incline Village which offers matchless panoramic views and signature High Sierra Cuisine; award winning seafood with spectacular deck dining at Jake's on the Lake, Tahoe City, Six Peaks Grille at the Resort at Squaw Creek, Graham's and PlumpJack Cafe in Squaw Valley and Moody's in Truckee, are reason enough to return again and again.

Breakfast at the long standing favorite of locals, the Fire Sign Cafe on the West Shore and Rosie's Cafe in Tahoe City, will leave you energized for the day…A lakeside fish taco at Sunnyside will keep your tummy happy…And Tahoe City’s Wolfdales, featuring “Asian Fusion cuisine” will quench your more adventurous taste buds at the end of the day. If you’re dining on a budget, each of our resorts and towns offers equally pleasing options in the ways of authentic Mexican, hardy burgers and made-to-order pizzas. Our favorite Mexican food is Las Panchitas in Kings Beach...world class sushi (this is not an exaggeration) at Hiro's Sushi, also in Kings Beach. The Log Cabin in Kings Beach is so good it's worth a little wait
for breakfast/brunch. Lanza's in Tahoe Vista is our little Italian restaurant to make you feel warm and cozy as well as nostalgic. And pizza orderers will really enjoy Jiffy's in Tahoe Vista....so much better than the average pizza.

Northstar at Tahoe hosts Toyota Championship
February 18 - February 22
Calling Shaun White "The Flying Tomato" is like calling San Francisco "Frisco" - it's stupid. Be that as it may, some moron will yell it out sometime next week as Mr. White seeks to maintain his #1 spot at the end-up for the Dew Tour put on by NBC and MTV at Northstar.
Currently he's holding down both the Superpipe and Slopestyle top spots and is coming off another gold at the Winter X Games in Aspen where he was the first athlete to win double, back-to-back golds. With that out of the way, the living legend of snowboarding is headed to Lake Tahoe next week to compete for a grab at the $1.5 million dollar purse put up by MTV and NBC.
Training starts on Wednesday, February 18 with the finals obviously going down over the weekend.
Other rock stars on the Snowboard side of the vibe in order of standing coming out of Breckenridge, include: Danny Davis, Scotty Lago, Steve Fischer with the women being rounded out by Kelly Clark, Hannah Teeter, Kjersti Østgaard and Elena Hight.
MTV is obviously bringing it's entertainment factor in the way of music with a concert performance on Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. Relatively unknown, obscure and very weird, Los Angeles based Tweak Bird opens for Common, who's no stranger to Tahoe. He played a supporting role at South Lake Tahoe's Montbleu Resort a few years ago in "Smokin' Aces" with Jeremy Piven and directed by local Sac State grad, Joe Carnahan.

Busy Weekend, looking for caller's number

Wow,
Wonderful weekend in Tahoe.....snow to play in and a wonderful safe and sane New Year's Eve. On New Year's Day I went for an early morning run and there weren't any swerving cars at all.
The last four days were non stop in the office, with Friday being a 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM day. Someone who has stayed here before called and I promised to call back. When the time came, I couldn't find the paper even after searching the paper recycle area. If I missed you, please call back. Sorry about that.
