Thanks to the record-breaking October snowfall, most of the ski resorts have bumped up their opening dates which are listed below. As we are already experiencing "pent-up demand," it's best to book your vacation rental early. Take a look at some of the best options for large family gatherings or quaint and quiet condos, and then contact us as soon as you can!

So, are we going to save ourselves or press the snooze button? I read an article in the New York Times by Damien Cave that gave me a shiver of renewable hope that there might be a mere mortal out there who could actually, should prayer fail, save us. Andrew Forest is his name, an Australian mining magnate who is coming in out of the cold to perhaps take the lead in the climate change revolution. Go Andrew! I only weigh 150 pounds, and you can see my haymaker coming from last week, but I’m at your back.

As the temperature drops outside and we think about using our fireplaces and heating stoves, it is important to remember a few safety tips and precautions. Heating equipment and improper ash disposal are leading causes of home fires during the fall and winter months.

Be warm and safe this season and consider following these safety tips:
Have heating equipment, chimney, and stove inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweep every fall just before the heating season.
Allow ashes to COOL before disposing of them. Four days or 96 hours is the minimum recommended cooling period for ashes.
Place completely cooled ashes in a covered metal container. Keep the container at least 10 feet away from the home and other buildings. They should NEVER be disposed of in a plastic garbage box or can, a cardboard box, or a paper grocery bag. Never use a vacuum cleaner to pick up ashes.
The metal container should be placed away from anything flammable. It should not be placed next to a firewood pile, up against or in the garage, on or under a wood deck, or under a porch.
After sitting for a week in the metal container, check them again to be sure that they are cool. If so, the ashes are then safe to dispose of in your trash.
As a safety precaution keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from a fireplace, wood stove, or any other heating appliance, and create a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires. It is important to make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying, and never leave a fire unattended, particularly when children are present.

To obtain a free ash can, residents may fill out an application. If the required criteria are met, an ash can will be provided. Inside each ash can, residents will find instructional flyer on how to properly dispose of fireplace ashes. Ash cans will be provided to qualifying residents on a first come, first serve basis.

In partnership with ICS, we have officially published the 2021 Baseline Report for the Tahoe Basin: Living and Working Today in and around the Tahoe Basin. The report measures demographic and economic conditions in the basin that are impacting employment, household earnings, housing, tax revenue, and community services, among other aspects of life in the Tahoe Basin. The report is intended to establish baseline conditions that will inform discussions and planning around diversification strategies to help Tahoe’s economy recover from the pandemic and, more recently, the Caldor Fire, and become more resilient to economic disruptions. Please share and let us know if you have any questions or comments!
