An unusually long winter may have meddled with Tahoe’s legs of the Amgen Tour of California, but cycling events later in the year are sure to dodge those unexpected snow storms. Check out some of the events coming up:
 The Lake Tahoe Trail 100K Leadville Qualifier is at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort July 24. Serious mountain bikers will earn one of the 300 coveted starting positions in the 2011 Leadville Trail 100 by riding two 30-mile loops overlooking the Truckee Valley and Lake Tahoe.
Big Blue Adventure has long called Tahoe home with its series of adventure races, triathlons and trail running competitions. Specially for mountain bikers is its Lake Tahoe 4- and 8-Hour Mountain Bike Race June 18 in Tahoe City, where the champion will have made the most laps on a 12-mile course, marked by single track and fire roads.
Cyclists take to the road at the Tahoe Sierra Century Ride September 24, a race starting and finishing in Squaw Valley, which has earned praise for its scenic routes (both 60 and 100-mile available), demanding hill climbs and full-support services.

 Travelers are always looking for empty beaches, quiet hotels and a destination all to themselves. In a popular location such as Tahoe that can be a challenge. But there’s a secret. Head to Tahoe during the last two weeks of June and the last two weeks of August to enjoy the area before or after the peak summer season. It’s also one of the best times to take advantage of area deals.
With a good portion of Tahoe’s summer business made up of families, many travelers must adhere to traditional school closings and openings. Traveling when school is still in session gives guests the opportunity to save as many regional businesses eager to attract visitors during this four-week period provide some of the summer’s best values. It’s also a great time for families with children in private schools and track programs to call Tahoe home as their schedules may differ from public schools.
But what guests to North Lake Tahoe won’t be giving up is the spectacular weather. June marks the official start to summer and boating season with highs in the 70s. August is a bit warmer with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s.
What Tahoe-goers will notice is having the lake’s 72-mile shoreline mostly to themselves, as well as the hiking and mountain biking trails and out on the water.
According to Parks Superintendent Roger Adamson of the Tahoe City Public Utility District, their trail numbers along the popular paved Truckee River bike path from Tahoe City to Squaw Valley nearly double in July and early August compared to North Lake Tahoe’s early and late summer periods.
Operations Manager Darren Kramer of Obexer’s Marina on the West Shore, the oldest marina in Lake Tahoe, also sees peak business during the height of summer. “Although we have a handful of clients that launch their boats over Memorial Day weekend, things don’t really pick up until right before Fourth of July.”
 The last two weeks in June and August are also marked by a number of special events, including the Tahoe City Wine Walk (June 18) when guests sample at more than 30 wine and food locations overlooking Lake Tahoe. Visitors burn off those calories at the Burton Creek Trail Run 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon (June 19) along a beautiful challenging trails system within the West Shore’s Burton Creek State Park. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association offers a “Vistas, Lakes and Wildflower” trek (June 25) as part of their summer hiking season along 10 miles of Tahoe’s famed trail. For those that like it hot and spicy, the 3rd Annual Truckee Chili Cook-Off (June 26) at Truckee Regional Park has the area’s best chili cooks competing for top honors.
The last two weeks of August are equally busy with a bevy of events, such as the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival’s presentation of one of Shakespeare’s more traditional plays, “Twelfth Night,” (August 16-21) outdoors and on the beach at Sand Harbor State Park. Tahoe Adventure Company gets guests on the water or trails via a guided kayak or hike followed by a brilliant tour of the midnight sky, called Astronomy Adventure: Neptune and the Distant Gas Giants (August 22), with professional astronomer Tony Berendsen. Squaw Valley USA continues with its free Bluesdays (every Tuesday through the end of August, including August 16, 23 and 30) with national acts on the Events Plaza Stage and “blue plate” specials at village restaurants.
Get more information about North Lake Tahoe’s secret season, as well as a list of events, activities and outfitters. And, for the best bargains, including lodging, check out the website’s Cool Deals, which is updated daily.

In the last of our “What’s New” blogs for the 2010/11 ski and board season we’re taking a look at what’s new at area lodges. While the mountain is the most important part of a ski/board experience, lodges also play an important role.
The legendary Olympic House base lodge at Squaw Valley has been brilliantly remodeled for the start of the 2010-11 winter season. Changes include a complete remodel of Bar One which has been updated to include a cozy fireplace, expansive bar, and improved views of Squaw Valley’s majestic peaks. The space’s new layout and design embraces the rich history of the bar and employs extensive use of natural materials and environmentally advanced materials.
Squaw Valley also just completed an extensive remodel of the Olympic Village Lodge and Conference Center. This facility is available for meeting space, weddings and conferences. This storied building was the first and only facility in which Olympic athletes dined together under one roof, and the space maintains its classic and romantic feeling but now with modern functionality. The remodel included all new flooring, A/V updates and a redesign of the outdoor deck.
Alpine Meadows also unveils an entirely redesigned outdoor seating area at its base lodge. The 7500 square foot sundeck, which offers outdoor slopeside seating, features an inviting space for relaxation around a new firepit.
 At Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe the panoramic new Winters Creek Lodge, which opened last season, benefits from a new sustainability initiative including three “extreme energy windspires” along the lodge’s walkway that will help offset energy costs to the new facility while contributing to a greener environment.

Any great ski and board getaway deserves maximum time on the mountain. That being said, everyone needs a little down time. Tahoe’s resorts know that and so they’ve continued to focus on off-slope amenities that delight.
The Village at Northstar’s shops and restaurants expand with the addition of All Fired Up! pottery-making studio offering guests another experiential opportunity along the lines of existing jewelry design, candle, mosaic and teddy bear making stores already present in the village. The Marketplace also opens its doors this winter offering guests the convenience of grab and go grocery and personal items, fresh coffee from Equator, a Bay Area coffee roaster, plus spirits, micro brews, wine, locally baked breads and more. Northstar also adds two new movie theaters to the Village opening in December.
Not to be outdone, Squaw welcomes a host of new shops to the European-style base village as well including three new retail stores: Squaw Dogs, Marmot and the Squaw One Logo Company. Geared towards active dogs and their people, Squaw Dogs features a wide offering of food and supplements to keep dogs healthy, as well as all the gear they need for great adventures. Marmot features name-brand Marmot gear and outdoor clothing, and Squaw One Logo Company has all the essential Squaw Valley logowear.
Two years of improvements to Squaw Valley’s culinary services program is topped off with the completion of 39° North. Squaw Valley has received rave reviews on the completely redesigned menus and facilities and this year welcomes Dave Benge as the new Director of Culinary Services. Benge comes to Squaw Valley with over eighteen years of executive food and beverage experience at Lake Tahoe resorts.
Northstar’s on-mountain dining expands to include vanilla cinnamon French toast and pancakes on the breakfast menu at the Big Springs Day Lodge, and grilled chicken, beef or shrimp fajitas served with piping hot Spanish rice, black beans and flour tortillas with house made salsa, shredded cheese and sour cream at the Summit Deck & Grille. The Snow Bar, an outdoor bar made of snow that guests can ski, ride or walk up to, also opens this winter at the top of the mountain featuring suds from Sierra Nevada Brewery.
Check out photos of other resort upgrades in our Flickr gallery. Our next post in the series of what’s new for Tahoe’s ski and board season focuses on lodge improvements at area resorts. Until then, plan your Tahoe ski getaway.

As we continue our series on what’s new for the Tahoe ski and board season it’s time to turn focus to kids. Tahoe resorts know that getting a kid onto the slopes is a different process than getting adults on, so some are upgrading their children’s centers with great features and simple navigation. Kids can also enjoy special features just for them right on the mountain.
Alpine Meadows unveils a newly designed children’s center, which includes a modern, indoor open space for children and parents, complete with automated registration kiosks and interactive educational stations for kids; and an outdoor snow play area with a new magic carpet surface lift which accesses an improved ‘mini terrain park’ as well as newly installed snow tubing lanes for both kids and kids at heart.
Diamond Peak’s nationally recognized Bee Ferrato Child Ski Center is even better this year in its new home. Parents can appreciate the ease of enrolling their children into the center. After entering the front doors, they’re guided to the registration area, then a children’s equipment fitting area and off to the lesson, which is now located right outside the exit door of the Child Ski Center.
Squaw Valley transforms the Belmont Park into a kids’ terrain park complete with a snow fort, kid-friendly jumps, bumps and whoopty-doos. Kids can also discover Squaw Valley’s mountain secrets with a new kids map designed to lead them on a grand adventure around the mountain, following the map through Squaw Valley’s kid-friendly terrain to find fun facts about the mountain’s animals, history and natural habitat.
Check out photos from our Flickr gallery for a look at what else is new this season and starting planning your winter getaway to North Lake Tahoe. Watch four our next post in the series with highlights of new off-slope activities.

 Tahoe’s ski and board resorts are gearing up for what’s forecasted to be a “wet winter” with plenty of precipitation to build the snowpack and make for great conditions on the slopes. With excitement already building about this weather there’s no better time to stoke the fire than now with a look at what’s new and improved at area resorts. Because there’s so much going on we’ll be doing a series of posts on what’s new. Here’s Part one of what you can expect for the 2010/11 ski and board season.
The Village at Northstar expands the demo equipment shop giving guests more room to move through the rental process and select the gear they’d like to try. The resort has also invested in new rental equipment that includes K2 skis, Burton snowboards and Dalbello ski boots along with new Rossignol cross-country ski equipment.
Squaw Valley opens the Gold Coast Adventure Center in the Village—a new branch of the resort’s high-performance demo center featuring this season’s latest ski technology. Skiers and riders can rent brand-new high-performance rental equipment, and skiers can demo the season’s latest skis from top manufactures. The new shop will work in conjunction with Squaw Valley’s mountaintop Gold Coast Demo Center allowing guests to pick one set of demo skis at the bottom, and exchange them at the top of the mountain throughout the day until they finally meet their match—all for one flat rate.
In addition, the Squaw Kids Children’s Center, a frontrunner of environmental design, was renovated to improve the flow of registration traffic in the building and to better accommodate kids. The renovation includes an expanded second floor, larger lunch room and more space in the rental room to accommodate a greater equipment selection.
Technological advances continue to be a priority at Alpine Meadows with Fast Trax becoming the latest convenience offered through Alpine Club, the resort’s frequent skier benefit program. Members simply associate a credit card to his or her radio frequency identification media card, ski through a chair lift gate, and a lift ticket for the day is automatically purchased with a savings of $10 off the window rate, even during holidays.
Diamond Peak overhauled its base operations tearing down the Child Ski Center, ticket windows and administration office and combining them into one. The new Skier Services Building offers guests a state-of-the-art facility along with a plaza area in front of the newly designed ticket windows as a place to meet up with friends and family. This new design improves flow and enhances the overall guest experience.
View our Flickr gallery for images of what’s new for Tahoe’s 2010-11 ski season. And, visit North Lake Tahoe online for complete details on planning your 2010-11 ski vacation.
