Snow village building contest in South Tahoe

Snow villages are ready for creation at the corner of Ski Run Boulevard and Highway 50 and at the Y in South Lake Tahoe.

Any individual, family, group, business, or other organization can stake their claim and build the snow creation of their imagination. The Snow Villages will be open to public vote, and photos will be posted on Facebook.

Voting will be online during December and the winner will receive a certificate to keep and a trophy that will be passed on to the winner of the 2011-12 SnowTown ShowDown.
