LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - What is sustainable tourism and what does it mean for Lake Tahoe?

The future of Tahoe tourism needs to be sustainable. This year’s Annual Tourism Forum will address this global concern on a local level on Thursday, May 30 at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Responsible tourism is something all businesses in the Lake Tahoe basin are working towards and this year’s forum will explore that theme. The forum will include a main keynote speaker, two general sessions, and breakout sessions designed to get a closer look at four key topics.

Vail Resorts has appointed Deirdra Walsh as the Vice President and General Manager of their Northstar California Resort.

The former senior director of mountain dining at Park City Mountain in Utah is moving to Lake Tahoe full time with her husband Rob and two children Henry, 7 and Bridget, 4 later this summer.

She is replacing Nadia Guerriero who moved to Vail's Beaver Creek Resort as their new vice president and chief operating officer.

Here is the Mountain Resort Report for April 19-21, 2019.

Happy Easter! Spring Conditions continue as Resorts head into Easter Weekend. Many Resorts will be closing after April 21… And, some will remain open thru May and others into July… It’s been a great snow year and we wish you a safe Spring Skiing Season!

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Looking for a career change or your first job? Interested in what choices there are on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, both on the Nevada and California side?

Or, are you a business in search of staff?

The opportunity comes later this month for both those looking for employees and those seeking employment when The Collaborative hosts a regional job fair at Harrah's Tahoe on April 23 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

While it still feels like winter, with a healthy snowpack and ski resorts reporting record monthly snowfall in February, another building season is fast approaching. One of the questions people ask the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency each year is why they have to pay mitigation fees for their development, like new homes and remodeling projects.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – A donation from Vail Resorts Chief Executive Officer Rob Katz and his wife, Elana Amsterdam is allowing the Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) to offer more mental health services to those experiencing homelessness on the South Shore.

In December, the Katz Amsterdam Charitable Trust made more than $2M in contributions to support emotional wellness programs in nearly every mountain resort community in which Vail Resorts operates, including South Lake Tahoe.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - On the good side, we all had two days of sunshine to shovel out from the weekend's storms that dropped up to seven feet of snow on Lake Tahoe area ski resorts. But, all good things must come to an end.

Another cold low-pressure system will bring more snow and snow showers to the Sierra and Western Nevada Wednesday morning through evening, producing possible

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Happy President's Day! What will go down as a weekend remembered for years to come, residents will continue to shovel out and get on the road to ski, shop, and work, while visitors will hit the slopes or begin a journey home that most likely took them four-five times longer than normal.

With chain controls down over Echo Summit, the journey shouldn't be hampered by snow but it will be hampered by traffic. I80 has removed some restrictions and other roads might see more of the same as the day goes on and the sun shines.
