Thinning ice around Lake Tahoe becoming a safety concern for humans and pets
Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 4:26pm
Warming temperatures and the arrival of spring bring not only flowers and the appearance of grass to the Lake Tahoe Basin, but they also bring dangerous thin ice.
In an incident Friday, a local woman was out walking two dogs when they ran onto the ice which broke, and both dogs fell into the cold water at Cove East near the Tahoe Keys. With assistance by a nearby paddle boarder the dogs were rescued, but this brings to light how serious the thinning ice can be.

Although it’s been a busy season safeguarding Heavenly Mountain Resort skiers, last Monday, January 16, the Heavenly Ski Patrol also wanted to help the community off the mountain. By sponsoring a Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment, the Ski Patrol funded a B&B’s Monday Meal which not only provided a hot, tasty meal but also a chance to enjoy a warm and safe place to spend time with others.
