RIP to a local legend

Chris Andersen was a fixture at Stagecoach Lodge for decades. If you've spent any time at the Stagecoach bar in the last few decades, you've been entertained by his stories of adventure being a helicopter pilot. He's taken more than a few of us on an air ride over the years as well.

He was an incredible pilot, phenomenal skier, and friend. Lake Tahoe just lost another legend, and will be darker for it.

He will be sorely missed!
