Springtime at the Tahoe Resort

Springtime at the Tahoe Resort

Springtime at the ski hill means sweet slushy snow and skiing in a t-shirt with your shades on.  The resorts have some fun spring games planned that mix in the hot weather with the snow that is still on the mountain.

  

Spring it On! continues at Northstar with pond skimming last week and arctic volleyball this week.  On Saturday, April 16th, get your team of 4 together for an afternoon of fun, laughs and competition.  The courts will be set up at mid-mountain and also available for non-tournament play until 1pm when the competition begins.  

Alpine Meadows has its own spin on summer meets winter sports with snow golf Saturday, April 16th.  This year will be the 33rd annual for the 9 hole, on mountain golf round.  Start your tee time at 9am at the top of Summit Express and work your way down the nine-hole course.  You are sure to be in for some good laughs at this event.  Celebrate your score card at the after party on the main lodge sun deck.  Who knows, you could be the winner of roundtrip airfare on Alaska Airlines! 

Squaw Valley is host to the Tahoe Truckee Earth Day celebration.  From 11am to 5pm on Saturday, April 16th, the Village at Squaw Valley will be packed with booths, music, food and environmental education. One of the most unique aspects of the event is the "Trashion Show" where participants create clothing out of what would have been trash.  Painted sample skirts, tire shirts or plastic bags are turned into clothing for this hometown fashion show. Come have fun and learn about some earth-friendly practices you might not have known about before.

Santa at Northstar and Squaw

Where’s Santa? 

Have you seen the jolly guy in a red suit around Tahoe yet?  He has been checking his list and making his rounds.  There’s still time to catch a sighting, sit on his knee and tell him what you really want for Christmas this year.  

Santa can always be seen at Northstar’s Noel nights.  The last one is this week, Thursday, December 17th.  With ice skating performances, gingerbread man decorating, face painting, one horse open sleigh rides and Santa himself, it is a night full of happiness.  Santa will also be around all week at Northstar starting on Sunday, December 19th.  Be on the lookout!

Santa will bring Mrs. Claus along as he visits the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe on December 19th.  In the great living room of the Ritz-Carlton, Mr. and Mrs. Santa will make an appearance as kids of all ages gather for a chance to sit on his knee and talk about toys.  Stick around in this fairy tale setting with stone fireplaces tucked around every corner and sweeping snow covered views of the Northstar ski slopes through floor to ceiling windows.

Santa is very busy sharing time between Northstar and Squaw Valley.  He will be having breakfast at Cascades in the Resorts at Squaw Creek December 19-20 and 23-25.  He can also be seen taking some turns on the slopes.  Keep your eyes out or catch a chairlift ride with him December 19-24th.  He will also be relaxing in the big chair in The Village at Squaw Valley welcoming all who want to stop to say hello.
