Snippets about Lake Tahoe
• The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is planning a series of snowshoe excursions this winter. More info is online.
• Sugar Bowl signed a 25-year lease with the Truckee Donner Land Trust to operate Royal Gorge.
• People may ski or ride for free with Jonny Moseley at Squaw Valley on Dec. 28 and Dec. 30 from 10am-noon and at Alpine from 2-4pm. Squaw tours will meet at the Gold Coast Demo Center. Tours at Alpine Meadows will meet at the bottom of Summit Express.

No lift ticket required to ski with Johnny?
No comments yet on this parking survey?
The survey that counts is 6 months down the road.
Moral Hazard it’s also not on the Nevada side (LTVA)that has all the free parking. No free beaches over there. South Lake Tahoe locals need to sign and then vote in June!! Surveys are over no one listened.
Even the initial study which was used to sell the “parking management” program did not support paid parking. That study had support for use taxes on things like the Tahoe Queen, not paid parking.
The last 2 online surveys were over 80% against paid parking.
So now the city is trying to slip in a 3rd survey which, if it isn’t the way they want, will be ignored like the first 2.
Einstein’s definition of insanity is “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Come on City, get rid of this revenue generation oppressive program on your own and become heroes in the eyes of the voters.
A survey, with leading questions I’m sure, and with the results ‘interpreted’ by a consultant no doubt!
Amazing that they’re bothering with it, when as previously stated, the June ‘survey’ is all that matters!
I don’t want the kiosks at the beach and other parking restrictions. I live near the beach and now have vague and confusing restricted parking signs in the neighborhood. Most people do not see them. In the 13 years I’ve lived here parking is only an issue during the concert series and firework display. What happened to the parking that was to be underground at the convention hole site?
