The annual television meteorologist's conference, Operation Sierra Storm (OSS), couldn't have happened at a better time to bring the national spotlight to early January's storms fondly nicknamed Snowmageddon and Januburied.

Jim Cantore and Paul Goodloe, leading correspondents at The Weather Channel, both broadcast live from Heavenly Mountain Resort and showcased South Lake Tahoe’s powder-filled ski conditions for two days, eight hours each day during the historic snowfall January 10-13, 2017.

Don’t miss one of most talked-about community events of the year on Saturday, April 2 at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The annual Heavenly Ski Patrol Fundraiser Party is a local favorite, combining activities, entertainment and food all in an effort to give back to local organizations that make our community a better place to live and play.

After the passing of the $55 million Lake Tahoe Community College General Bond, known as Measure F in November, the next step was to sell the bonds.

On August 6, 2015, $19 million of Series A bonds were sold at a much better rate than anyone expected. When the market opened at 7 a.m. PST, investors were ready to jump on these bonds and it only took two hours to sell them, and waiting in the wings were another $54.4 million in orders.

The biggest single investor was State Farm Insurance who bought about 25% of the bonds or, $4.7 million.

SMC Construction Company has filed paperwork in Douglas County Court, seeking payment of $9,654,575.02 they say Neva One, LCC, and Jon and David Park still owe them on construction of the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Stateline, Nevada.

The detailed legal documents state that SMC Construction and Neva One, LLC had come to the agreement of $9,645,121 for the remodel on the former Horizon Casino on August 6, 2014. Updated plans changed hands several times, even after the work began according to the paperwork filed in court.

It was a blast from the past today as I spoke with Night Ranger's drummer Kelly Keagy. We covered everything from playing discos in my hometown of Fremont, CA in the 70s to playing in large arenas with the likes of Kiss and ZZTop, to playing at the Hard Rock Casino Lake Tahoe this weekend.

Keagy is one of the founding members of the band Night Ranger. He and buddies Jack Blades and Brad Gillis formed the band in 1979, and the three are still performing around the world as well as recording albums today.

There are some big running events in South Lake Tahoe this summer and Barton Health is providing the tools needed to perform safely and at your peak.

The community is invited to join Barton Health’s “Train for an Event Fitness Challenge” from March to June.

“Whether you are just getting off the couch or a seasoned athlete, this program is designed to motivate you and make you game day ready for one of our local race events,” said Krista Carson, Barton Health’s program coordinator.

When reflecting over the past year it's hard to remember all that happened in one's life, unless you're good at keeping a journal and you have time to re-read it.

As I look back at what happened in South Lake Tahoe over the last 365 days, a lot happened, but what may seem to be a top story to me may not seem as important to a reader.

I reviewed our analytics, the numbers that are kept to show how many people read South Tahoe Now stories at any given point, and drew from those numbers to come up with the "South Lake Tahoe's Top Stories of 2014."

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in South Lake Tahoe may not be opened yet, but they've been busy becoming a part of the community.

On Monday, November 24, their Executive Chef Jonathan Snyder delivered 48 turkeys to Sierra Community Church, who will serve them in their community kitchen and distribute the rest to local families in need for Thanksgiving.

Months before they are scheduled to open, the Hard Rock Casino of South Lake Tahoe donated goods and materials from the former Horizon property to several local charities.

The company has a history of local philanthropy, and South Lake Tahoe will be no different.

South Lake Tahoe's Horizon Resort Casino is going to be a Hard Rock Casino & Hotel by the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015.

This comes amid local speculation and rumors that have been circling the community since the Horizon's closure this spring.

The new casino has a facebook page and website already.

Hard Rock Lake Tahoe is undergoing $60M in renovations and redesign that will highlight rock and roll and will also serve as a live music venue.
