Plenty to do in the "Slow Season"

Well, as I write this it's cold, snowy, and in feels more like November than April, but that is how it goes in the Sierra. The weather-people are calling for some slight accumulations in the higher elevations today, but we should see some clearing and warmer temps in time for the weekend. I sure hope that is the case!!

Northstar closed last Sunday and they are already gearing up for summer. The driving range is scheduled to open on May 10th with the front nine following closely on May 17th. Also, after a year in hibernation the mountain bike park will re-open this summer!

While Northstar may be a little quiet this weekend Squaw will be a buzz of activity. Squaw will be hosting the 6th Annual North Lake Tahoe Truckee Earth Day Festival. Activities at the festival include an eco-parade (not sure what that entails but should be fun), fashion show, movies, and live music.

Also at squaw this weekend is the annual Cushing Crossing which is always a great spectator event....don't stand too close though or you might end up wet. Look for the pond crossing off the Bar One sun deck at 2PM.

Can't choose what season to enjoy, Spring or Summer? Try both at Alpine Meadow's annual snow golf tournament this Saturday. Golf the day away around the mountain and finish at the base lodge sundeck for free live music....not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Tahoe.

The Tonopalo staff is continuing with deep cleans and maintenance to have the property in tip top shape and ready for summer. But why wait for summer...grab some Space Available and come enjoy all the great spring events going on up here. Bring some friends and show them what life at Tonopalo is all about!
