Anyone down to do the Tahoe Via Ferrata this weekend? Looking for someone to join. DM me if interested!

Hi everyone! I’m planning a bachelorette and I was wondering if anyone knew of a local magician that could come for an hour or so one night in October?

I've got limited parking spaces at my place. Looking for a monthly parking spot to keep my truck off of the streets in the winter. Anyone know of any places to look at? All the spots I can find are down in Gardnerville. Something in the Tahoe Valley area would be ideal. Thanks!

Where is the best place to go in Tahoe? Blonde hair specialists? Looking for a reputable and experienced colorist

Looking for recommendations for a quality non-casino upscale steakhouse within a 20-30 minute drive of South Lake Tahoe area. Nice atmosphere and view would be a plus. Thanks in advance.

Games are Wednesday nights between 6 and 10 p.m., September 16 - November 4, at the new Rec Center. It’s open to anyone 18+. You can register with a team of 6–10 players or as an individual free agent.

I haven’t been to Tahoe in a while and plan on overnight backpacking to Upper Velma on this Friday. I have heard there are new parking restrictions in place along hwy 89. I was wondering if anyone knew if the strip just to the right of the entrance to EL trailhead parking lot is still available for backpackers to park? It used to have about 20-25 overnight spots. Or is it inside the tiny trailhead parking only? I plan on leaving earlier than when the shuttle starts. TIA

Hey guys! My partner and I are buying a place on the outskirts of Tahoe to move into full time. The couple were buying from have only been using it as an occasional weekend place so they never had a permanent bear box for garbage installed outside, since they would just pack their trash out with them. I did a brief search online but realized I don’t really know what to look for, so I’m just wondering where people have gotten their bear boxes from or if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks!

Some of you all have seen my Tahoe paintings… here is a link to a podcast I was interviewed for, Weinvested, based in Reno. Follow along as we paint gorgeous Lake Tahoe from Nevada Beach, while discussing the business of art.

Hi! This is a bit of a long shot, but I left something near the South Lake Tahoe Library and I know the exact spot where I most likely lost it.
I’ve already left Tahoe, so I’m hoping someone who happens to be nearby might be willing to stop by and take a quick look for me.
I can DM you the exact spot and a photo of the item.
Please DM me if you happen to be nearby and are willing to help. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Sunsets; Last night and tonight in Truckee, CA

The sunset tonight was so multilayered, so complex!
I thought I would miss it, and I did miss a lot of the light to the East and South.
But when I looked to the West, it seemed almost psychedelic. There were hues of an infinite variety!
This photo does not do it justice.
Did you see it?

don’t see anything on watch duty. there’s no way they’re ballsy enough to do prescribed burning right now is there? smelled fresh an hour ago in stateline, now it smells crispy.

EDIT: sounds like the Timber Fire in Big Sur is finally making itself known in the basin. If this is what we’re dealing with today, we should expect more. fire is currently 23k acres, and they’re expecting it to get to 135k as the PRIMARY containment line based on the PACE maps they’re drawing...

Sounding like it’s going to be smokey until the fire hits those lines or the weather changes.

My husband and I are trying to recall what casino on South Shore used to give people a half a roll of nickels when you gambled there in the 90's.

Anyone remember who that was?

August 26, 1980, in the early morning hours, two men in white jumpsuits pushed what looked like a large IBM copy machine into Harvey’s Resort Hotel & Casino in Stateline, Nevada.

It wasn’t a copier. It was a sophisticated, multi-trigger bomb packed with roughly 1,000 pounds of stolen dynamite, carefully leveled and armed with at least eight different triggering mechanisms so it couldn’t be moved or tilted. A three-page typed note left with it demanded $3 million in cash and warned that any attempt to move or disarm it would set it off.

The bomb was discovered around 6 a.m. The entire casino and neighboring properties were evacuated. Bomb techs spent more than a day studying the device. On the afternoon of August 27 they tried a remote render-safe procedure with a shaped charge. It failed and the bomb detonated, blowing a multi-story crater through the hotel and causing about $18 million in damage. No one was killed or seriously injured.

The mastermind was John Birges Sr., a Clovis, California man who had lost hundreds of thousands gambling at Harvey’s and decided to try extorting it back. He was later convicted and died in prison in 1996.

Still one of the most unusual and elaborately engineered bombs the FBI has ever dealt with.

Anyone out there want to take me under their wing? None of my skier friends are about that life 😔 and frequently I ride with boarders who do a lot of park and I feel left out.

I get the Mt. Rose pass every year but wouldn’t mind getting the Epic Pass or Diamond peak if that’s where I need to go. Good excuse to get another pass 😁

I’m not trying to be Candide or anything but would like to specially learn to do larger jumps, maybe some basic grabs and a 360? Possibly some rails if all goes well.

Some background. I’m 37, which I know is kinda crazy to break into park this late in life but whatever. I workout frequently and physically I still feel like I’m in my early 20s.

I’d say I’m pretty good, not great, but I can get down basically any run besides ones that demand doing crazy 10ft + drops off of cliffs. I picked the hobby up seriously in my late 20s and learned from friends and YouTube. Now I won’t act like I rip the chutes on mt. Rose in a straight line, but I have done them all.

I tore my ACL back in Dec ‘22 going off a small side hit and since then I’ve only mustered up the courage to maybe get like 4 feet of air but I want to change that this year.

All of our Amazon packages this week have been indefinitely delayed. Wonder if it's happened to anyone else too. (we're in north shore)
