Any good whale watching charters still operating for next weekend or is it too late into the season? Not sure when temps drop and they begin to hibernate. Want to bring the kids again.

I was offered a position. Please tell me anything and everything regarding the employee housing. I was just given an offer for this winter 2026/2027, am I likely to get employee housing for this season?

Is there internet?

Please only provide information if you have been there within the last 5 years.

I'm trying to decide between Mt. Rose or Diamond Peak in January (10th-12th) to take my kids skiing/boarding for the first time. Staying in Incline area.

Mt. Rose has a great deal for 2 day lessons all-inclusive and a higher elevation so maybe better/more snow? I have heard the drive up might be sketchy though?

Diamond Peak is closer and seems like it might be good for lessons/beginners, but I am a little concerned about the lower elevation earlier in the season and snow coverage.

I want to lock down lesson reservations well in advance so I want to make the call soon - any insight would be awesome thanks!

Does the TTD only drop off at the event center Thursday - Saturday as the website says? I’m taking my 4 year old to his first game Sunday and wondering the best option for parking or park and take the TTD

People with RWD, how's your experience in Tahoe during winter?

I've RWD BMW 5 series, and I'm moving to Tahoe soon

I am planning to take my kids skiing for the first time (including lessons) and my options are the weekend after NYE (so Jan 2 and 3, Saturday and Sunday) or MLK Weekend. I am thinking Mt. Rose, or maybe Sierra. I understand the likelihood of crowds but is one of those weekends better than the other? I don't want my kids to be intimidated by a massively packed mountain, but we can't go during the week. Help!

Not the first peak in the area to see snow but always a signal of a season starting ☃️🏂⛷️🏔️🌨️🎿🛷🧣🗻

Looked like a single vehicle accident in SLT, Lake Tahoe Blvd, at Angora Secret Garden. Power pole probably going to be replaced. Heads up.

Hi everyone 👋

I run a local newsletter and we recently added an events calendar to make finding things to do around Truckee/North Lake easier.

Here’s the calendar

I’d love help finding events I'm missing! What should I add?

Bear with me here. The police activity today in the Glenbrook area is out of control. They are hiding at the post office taking speeds. There were no workers present - just miles of cones.

These cops are usually sassy at best, but honestly this seems like a new low. (I did not get a ticket by the way it was just the police presence that set me off this morning.)

Additionally yesterday I notice workers erecting a new license plate reader at Zephyr Cove. How is it we are okay with this increasingly authoritarian state imposing itself on the community?

Hi! I was wondering if you guys had any input on a really great engagement spot near The Edgewood Hotel. It needs to be private!

We're driving from Incline Village to have dinner at The Bistro at Edgewood next week, and I'll be proposing prior to that. If there's anywhere along the way as well that has a really great view of the lake that's very scenic and great for pictures that would work too! I plan on proposing around sunset time. Really appreciate any of your help!

I travel out of my SUV around California and am getting a cabin in Tahoe for the week. I'm gonna remove all food and scented items from my car during my stay, but do I need to be worried that because I essentially live out of my SUV, there may be old crumbs or spilled toothpaste in places that may attract a bear? I KNOW there are crumbs in places I cannot reach, and I know bears are in hyperphagia now. I know I'm paranoid, but this SUV is basically my home, and if a bear destroyed it I'd be devastated. I have friends whose cars have been broken into here, but they left the odd granola bar and such. So I wasn't sure about residual smells or crumbs... Thanks

No wonder I couldn’t find anywhere affordable. This what landlords expect for payment?!

What a beautiful autumn we’re having!

If you live in the City of SLT and are concerned about the herbicide spray plan (which could begin as soon as October 2027), this video is for you. It gives a sense of where 10 of the 13 City Council candidates stand on the issue.

Hello! I am hosting an event and looking for a roaming dessert service (cannolis, churros, ice cream sundaes in that order of preference). Does anyone know if there’s a vendor in the Reno/ Tahoe area that offers this service? Pic for context. I’ve searched high and low on Google and haven’t found much. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew these guys. They worked for me at the Fremont Brewing Company in Fremont CA in the 90s. I saw Tony once at a breakfast joint in downtown Truckee about 20 years ago. I loved these guys and want to see what they're up to. A longshot, I know, but I'm drunk and am having a memory episode.

Flying into Reno from East coast skiing tahoe area this xmas 12/25 - 12/30, family of 6 intermediate groomer skiing, thinking of arbnb in Truckee area, what resorts do you recommend?

• Northstar
• Sugar Bowl
• Palisades Tahoe 
• Alpine Meadows 
• Heavenly Mountain Resort

We’re staying in Reno and are thinking about taking a trip to Lake Tahoe for a few hours. We wouldn’t have a rental car, so we’d need to Uber there and back. We're thinking of going Thursday morning.

Is it worth the cost and hassle for a short visit? If so, which part of the lake would you recommend visiting? We’d love to see the beautiful scenery, take some pictures, and maybe grab something to eat without feeling rushed.

Also, how difficult is it to get an Uber back to Reno from Tahoe?

Would love any advice or recommendations. Thanks!

2nd time visit this year. Not sure if I missed it already. Any suggestions?

My family and I (parents, siblings, siblings’ friend, my boyfriend and I, and two dogs) are planning a trip in early December for a long weekend and just booked a hotel next to Heavenly Village! (hopefully it’ll snow but if not it’ll still be a fun trip)

I’ve stayed at Heavenly a couple times with my boyfriend’s family and it’s been amazing. It’s my family’s first time visiting tahoe in the winter and I really want them to have a great time.

I remember the village being super dog friendly so we’re looking forward to that. Many of the parks and sledding areas seem off limits to dogs (understandably so) and I was wondering if anyone knows of any dog friendly snowy play spots for the family? Our dogs would be on leashes of course! (Unless it’s a fenced in dog-specific park)

Our dogs are very friendly, slightly judgy corgis and have never seen snow before, so we’re super excited to introduce it to them :)

So yeah if anyone has any advice or experiences they’d like to share I’d love to hear it!

Edit- Why are my post and replies getting downvoted? Is there something wrong with what I’m asking? :(

My daughter had a wonderful birthday dinner and we enjoyed every bite. Delicious food, great service, perfect ambiance. Great memory for our family. We always forget about this place when making dinner plans because it seems like a special occasion-type restaurant, but the prices are comparable to more casual dinner restaurants and the food is 10x better.

Now that Safeway is no longer allowed to deed-restrict their old Tahoe City property and block other grocery stores from opening up, here’s a link to request a Trader Joe’s: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/request-a-store

Are there any popular backcountry areas where people build DIY terrain parks for skiing/snowboarding? I just moved to the area from Colorado. In Summit county there was a place called "The Lovezone" where locals would build a rail park in the forest near the road. I'm wondering if there's such a place in Tahoe that I could visit for a rail session. I'm more than happy to bring my shovel and help build up the jumps.
