April showers bring May flowers...right? Oh it's gonna be May this weekend. Well, a couple early showers in May won't hurt anybody. We sure need the moisture!! Yes, it looks like rain this weekend and maybe even into early next week. Well, regardless there is still plenty to enjoy in Tahoe over the next week including skiing across water and of course Cinco de Mayo!
The Annual Lake Cushing Crossing is scheduled to take place this Sunday at Squaw Valley USA. The Cushing Crossing is a wacky end of the season event in which contestants attempt to cross a pond at the bottom of the ski hill on skis, snowboards, or other improvised water crossing devices. Participate if you are brave enough, but if you are not join the celebration as a spectator. Stand back if you want to stay dry! (May be rescheduled if there is bad weather).
Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated in many ways and locations in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. One of the most convenient for Tonopalo owners and perhaps the most thorough around the lake is taking place at Caliente in Kings Beach. The celebration will begin on Friday and continue through Tuesday, the traditional holiday date (yeah....the 5th of May). So stop by one night (or day) during your stay to take advantage of the great specials. Click Here for a full schedule and call me if you are looking for other options.
It looks like some wet weather is on tap for the weekend but I am thinking we are going to see clearing early next week which will make for some great hiking and biking conditions. If I'm right about the weather and you're still in the neighborhood check out the Sagehen Creek trail. Just north of Truckee on highway 89 this trail should be clear of snow and offers a great early season hike or bike.
Other Notes: Squaw Valley is still open and operating, Brockway Golf Course in Kings Beach and Ponderosa Golf Course in Truckee are now open for the season.
At Tonopalo: The buoys are scheduled to be in the water by the weekend and there are kayaks on the beach....one step closer to summer!
I-80 Roadwork: Remember there is roadwork going on on I-80 right now! Visit http://www.getacross80.com/ for more information and detour times. Don't make the drive longer if you don't have to!
