Where to Toast to the New Year Slope-side in Truckee-Tahoe
With the New Year upon us, there are plenty of places to celebrate in Truckee-Tahoe! And with all the new snow, it’s a perfect time and place for après ski!
When officially defined, après ski is defined as “a social activity after a day’s skiing,’ yet here at Elder Group Tahoe Real Estate we view it as a well-earned happy hour. Whether you sip champagne slope-side at Tost, Northstar, find a brew at the KT Base Bar, pop in for a Pilsner at a Pub or dine into the night at The Lodge at Tahoe Donner, the options are plentiful on the slopes and off.
If 2023 includes an interest in moving to the mountains, our website offers characteristic profiles about the neighborhoods throughout the Truckee-Tahoe region. For further real estate advice, contact Alison Elder any time!
From our family to yours, we wish you a white and wonderful New Year in Truckee-Tahoe!
