Our Incline Village hometown hero is representing at the Olympics! Learn more about her local story below:

"Before sunrise at Diamond Peak Ski Resort, the forecast read that it would be another chilly, windy day, with a storm in the forecast. Most would wait until the sun rose over the Eastern Sierra to even think about heading out for a day on the slopes.

For Lila Lapanja, it was just another training morning.

She was first taught to ski by her father, Vojko Lapanja, an Incline Village resident and a former Slovenian National Team racer. He put skis on her when she was about two years old at Diamond Peak, helped her develop her skills in her early years, and coached her through her youth racing with the Diamond Peak Ski Team.

After-school sessions meant 30–40 gates per set, 10–12 runs before dinner, edges tuned, more advice from Dad, then back at it the next day. By her teens: podiums at nationals. By her 20s: World Cup starts, hundredths of seconds separating wins from “almost,” to the Olympic stage.

Lila was named to the U S Ski Team at the age of 16, then switched to the Slovenian National Team, leveraging her dual citizenship to pursue new opportunities. New flag, same math: run margins measured in hundredths, same relentless passion.

Her father wasn’t just a parent on the hill — he shaped her early racing technique, instilled a strong ski racing foundation, and continues to be a mentor as she competes internationally today.

Overseas, she still pictures those crystal-clear mornings, one more lap, with big Lake views and big vertical dreams."

What's that rustling in the leaves and pine needles? The culprit could be a Spotted Towhee!
This Robin-sized bird has notable white spots on its black wings with bright rufous sides and a white belly. Its striking red eyes are noticeable through binoculars. They forage primarily by hopping along the ground and scraping away leaf litter. During the summer, males will sing from shrubs and low trees; they can be skulky and elusive.

Maybe you can spot one the next time you're out! 🔍🔍

In a couple of days, Tahoe will feel completely renewed. Storms like this don’t just deliver epic days — they build a deep, lasting base that keeps the slopes prime through March. The skiing everyone waits for all season is arriving now...and it’s only getting better. ❄️

Winter is finally delivering the snow we deserve! Keep up with us or any adjusted hours, but remember we're right by Palisades Tahoe & Alpine Meadows for some post slope dining and drinks! Come join us after a day of winter play!

Tahoe winter myth: living here is isolating. The truth is, February is one of the most social and vibrant times of year in North Lake Tahoe. From ski days in Truckee and Northstar to local events, après meetups, and community gatherings, winter is when locals connect the most. Tahoe doesn’t slow down, it comes alive.
