Party planned for South Shore Olympians

South Lake Tahoe, Meyers and Sierra-at-Tahoe will celebrate the South Shore’s three Olympians with a party on March 15.

Jamie Anderson and Maddie Bowman, who won gold for snowboarding slopestyle and freeskiing halfpipe, respectively, and Hannah Teter who placed fourth in snowboarding halfpipe, all live in Meyers and ride for Sierra-at-Tahoe.

A procession will take the Olympians via fire truck from South Tahoe High School, onto Highway 50, past the airport and through Meyers, concluding at Sierra. Community members may line Highway 50 along the route and cheer the Olympian procession as it drives by.

The party will include autograph signings, music, food and drink specials, prizes and a raffle with proceeds to the Sierra Foundation, which grooms future world class athletes.

The athletes will depart from South Tahoe High School at 1pm.

Parking at the resort is expected to be limited, so carpooling is encouraged.
