Massive water slide to send people down Ski Run Blvd

Ski Run Blvd and Pioneer Trail will be transformed into a large water party pn August 27 when a 1000-ft water slide lets participants slipe and slide their way down the streets in South Lake Tahoe.

The Tahoe Regional Young Professional group is bringing "Slide the City" to town not only as a fundraiser, but as a fun and local event that will also feature live music, vendors and food through three-city blocks. In order for TRYP to get the funds, those ordering tickets must use the promo code "TRYPSLIDE."

Slide the Party says not to worry about wasting water as it will be reclaimed by the South Tahoe Public Utility District and re-used around the community of South Lake Tahoe.

“We are beyond excited to be holding our first event in California,” said Slide the City co-owner, John Malfatto. “We hope to show other cities in California how great this event is and how it can be used to promote responsible water use.”

This block party will be better than the average summer bash. All participants are invited to take a break from the heat by speeding through three city blocks on inner tubes.

Online registration is open at www.slidethecity.com/location/tahoe/.

Participants can purchase a single, triple, or all day slider pass during a selected wave time and are encouraged to sign up soon to take advantage of the sale pricing.

Besides an innertube, participants get a mouthguard and a drawstring bag. The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tickets start at $15 for a single ride to $45 for an all day pass. It is open to all above the age of 5 and over 46 inches tall.
