As the 2022 Olympics wrapped up, we salute the grit, grace and professionalism shown by our United States and Truckee-Tahoe athletes! We watched unpredictable results, unfortunate injuries, podium finishes and proudly listened to the Star-Spangled Banner play in honor of our athlete’s success. It was quite an Olympics on so many levels and platforms.
Here in Truckee-Tahoe, we are especially tuned in to the twelve amazing athletes that gave it their all in competition with final results published below. What an incredible experience to represent the United States. So, welcome home athletes and we hope to see you again in the 2024 Winter Games!
As we circle back to Truckee-Tahoe, a beautiful 7” to 12” snowfall graced the Sierra’s last week and it is COLD!

In the spring of 1981, Bob Everson, Marketing Director at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, approached the Tahoe City Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors & Convention Bureau with the suggestion the North Tahoe Community host a winter carnival. In the early 80s, skiers visited Tahoe primarily during the months of December through February and missed the incredible snow pack that was available in March.
A meeting, to present the idea to interested community individuals was called late in June. Attendees at the meeting included the local service organizations, ski resorts, merchants and lodging property owners. The idea was received favorably and a second meeting was scheduled for mid-July. On July 4, Bob Everson was killed in a boating accident on Lake Tahoe. At the next meeting, it was determined that the community would move forward with an event called “SnowFest!” in honor of Everson.
The mission of SnowFest! was to promote Tahoe’s incredible weather and skiing early in March, to encourage tourism to the area at a traditionally off-season time of the year, and to provide an opportunity for the locals to get out and enjoy Tahoe at its winter’s finest.
