Another great week on Tahoe is on the horizon! Hope to see you up here!!

Head out to Squaw to enjoy the 8th Annual Brews, Jazz and Funk Fest taking place in the village this weekend. There will be live music Saturday and Sunday afternoon and a huge variety of beers to sample.

The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival rolls on through its last week of the 2009 season this week. This is a great way to spend an evening at the lake!! Call now for tickets 800-74-shows.

Hit the trail this weekend with a 10K trial run at Northstar to the top of Mt. Pluto. Sounds like a tough one for me, but if you have the spunk join the run from the base to the top of the Northstar ski resort. Ski lifts will be available for use on the way down.

I hate to say it but summer is slowly winding down, so get out on the lake while you can!! Rent the Tonopalo Formula or some jetskis for a couple hours this week, or just get out on a kayak. Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Tahoe Summer!

All the toys are out at Tonopalo and the property is looking great! Get up here and enjoy some Tahoe time!

Start the weekend with a free Friday night outdoor concert at Northstar. The Vagabond Opera will be playing the Village Stage from 7-9pm. This is part of Northstar's Summer Kickoff which takes place all weekend at the resort.

If you miss the Friday concert visit Commons Beach in Tahoe City for a free lakefront concert on Sunday featuring Albino! There are not many better places to watch a concert.......a free concert at that.

Hike of the Week. Check out the hike of the week from http://www.tahoeloco.com/, the five lakes trail. This is a great day hike in Alpine Meadows. Pack a picnic and hike to these beautiful alpine lakes. HERE are the directions.

It looks like a gorgeous summer weekend so get on the water! Book the Tonopalo Formula or jetskis. You might notice a couple of new items on the beach, specifically a new hobiecat sailboat and stand up paddleboards. The paddleboards are all the rage and you can find them all over the lake these days. Grab a board at Tonopalo and give it a try.

Summer is Really Coming.....I Promise

What a wet June! It has been a wet one up here which has kept things a little slow as of late, but water is much needed in these parts so there are no complaints here. That being said it looks like we are back to typical June weather this weekend with a forecast for clear skies and temps in the mid 70s.

So, bring the boat up (or reserve the Tonopalo Formula), rent some jet skis, try the new paddleboards, bring a good book for the beach, bikes, hiking boots, and all the rest of the toys, cause it's on. Summer in Tahoe!!

There will be plenty to keep you entertained at Tonopalo, but just in case you are out and about here are some other events happening this weekend.

The 37th annual Concours d'Elegance kicks off this Friday at Sierra Boat Co. just down the street in Carnelian Bay. If you enjoy classic wooden boats this is not to be missed. Be sure to look for Clementine, a woody owned by your fellow Tonopalo owners the Linnemans.

Don't miss Tahoe City's summer kick off this weekend, the Summer Solstice Festival includes live music, car shows, and a paddlefest at Commons Beach.

For the bikers out there, the Tour de Nez will be taking place this weekend with a variety of bike races and events throughout the area. The main event will take place Saturday at Northstar. The Thursday night race in downtown Truckee is one of my favorites and I would recommend it if you are up here then.

Summer has kicked off and there is more than enough going on to keep you busy. If you have any questions about events or if there is anything else you need please let me know!
