Mother Nature jump starts Tahoe ski season
This year’s ski season kicked off with a fantastic start as Mother Nature brought a series of storms into the Tahoe Sierra in early November that brought up to 3 feet of snow to some ski areas. So much so in fact, that nine local downhill and Nordic centers (and a few tubing hills) opened for the Veteran’s Day holiday weekend.
Every year for the last 22 years, we’ve kicked off the start of the ski season with our annual Tahoe Downhill Ski Guide. I’ve penned the ski guide personally for most of those 22 years and enjoy sharing what’s new and exciting at local ski areas, along with deals and discounts, and highlighting favorite amenities (many of which were not offered during the pandemic). I’m glad to see nearly every fan favorite return to our local ski areas.
My tip: Purchase a pass, it remains the best deal. If you do intend to purchase lift tickets, look for deals, visit midweek during non-holiday times and purchase as far in advance as possible.
New calendar system
Tahoe Weekly has moved to a new calendar software system, but it’s still free to post events at TheTahoeWeekly.com/events, which remains the calendar for our print edition, as well.
I recommend reading our “How to add an event” tips at thetahoeweekly.com/how-to-add-an-event to ensure that your listing is considered for the print edition. Hint: Not all submissions appear in our print edition, so this is an important step. If you have questions about your listing, please email editor@tahoethisweek.com.
New calendar format
We’ve also redesigned our calendars that appear in the print edition. Based on feedback from our readers, the main Event calendar now includes all foodie events (there is no longer a separate foodie calendar) and listings are now grouped by date.
The Arts calendar still appears in the Makers section, and the Live entertainment calendar remains the same.
Subscriptions mailed
This edition is the first one in our 40-year history to be mailed to our subscribers. I’m excited to be able to now offer subscriptions to our readers, a request we’ve received for decades. Thank you to our inaugural subscribers for supporting our work.
If you’d like to receive a subscription or purchase one for friends or family, visit TheTahoeWeekly.com/subscribe.
Kudos to our contributors
I want to congratulate our contributors writer Kae Reed and cartoonist Geolyn Carvin on the release of their new books and look forward to reading them myself. Find details on both in our Makers section in this edition.
