Truckee just before Christmas and the storm
Well it’s happened once again, the quiet fall is just about to turn into the mad tumult of the Christmas/New Year’s holiday period – Tahoe’s busiest time of year.
It looks like the snow is here and the resorts will be bedecked with a new layer of white, just in time for the holidays, and with the snow there are a few things to think about during these busy two weeks:
To our visitors
Welcome to Tahoe-Truckee. Thanks so much for visiting. We love showing off our beautiful community and appreciate your business. We ask that you have patience and understand that our roads and businesses don’t usually accommodate this many people so things may get slow and busy sometimes. Be sure to bring emergency supplies, extra food and water and games in your car in case of traffic snarls in a storm, and Drive Carefully. Please don’t park on a county or Town of Truckee road as you will block snow removal operations and can be cited. Aside from the ski areas we have a host of other things to do at Tahoe. Try cross-country skiing, sledding, or attending a cultural event.
If you are a resident of Tahoe-Truckee.
Have patience. While it gets very crowded between December 20 and January 5th, it is an important infusion of cash into the challenging environment that is owning a small business in Tahoe. In other words, those visitors who crowd the restaurants and the supermarkets, are what enables us to have those businesses be available for us to enjoy the other 11.5 months of the year. And to all…… Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
