In Lake Tahoe to enjoy the snow? Be aware of where you park and play!
Submitted by paula on Thu, 12/27/2018 - 1:44pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The snow has fallen and the kids are out of school so it's time for many to hit the Sierra. Skiers and boarders have the slopes but where do sledders and those just wanting to play go?
Many stop on the highway and pull onto the shoulder (well, sort of) and head to the patch of snow. This behavior is causing problems for law enforcement, other drivers and is an accident waiting to happen.

Getting around South Lake Tahoe by water taxi
Submitted by paula on Wed, 08/29/2018 - 12:00pm
We've all most likely had an experience hailing or calling for a cab, but how many have tried that doing that on Lake Tahoe? There are no stop signs or stop lights, it's worry free, no traffic, no parking madness, just you and the crystal blue water underneath your water taxi as it glides from marina to marina at a steady 10 knots.
On Monday I boarded the South Shore Water Shuttle at Lakeside Marina for a round trip to all four of its regular stops, Timber Cove Marina, Camp Richardson Resort & Marina and Round Hill Pines Beach Resort & Marina, and then back to Lakeside.

South Lake Tahoe students receive Pay It Forward scholarships
Submitted by paula on Tue, 07/10/2018 - 4:59pm
Three students from the South Shore were awarded "Pay It Forward" scholarships to attend Lake Tahoe Community College this fall.
Kai Heiden of Mt. Tallac High School, Chris Manzano of South Tahoe High School and Samuel Alvarez from Whittell High School were awarded the scholarships. The two from California schools received $1,000 each, and the Whittell student received $2,000 due to his out-of-state tuition.
The students wrote essays on paying it forward in our community and how they can assist others in the future, and what that means to them.
