High Roller Hold ‘Em World Cup
We know that April 4th 2015, sounds like it’s a long way away – we haven’t even finished up 2014! But, we’re excited to let you in on some info regarding the newly announced High Roller Hold ‘Em on the World Cup Run at Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe.

Some of the top snowboard athletes will be here, in South Lake Tahoe competeing at the High Roller Hold ‘Em. Considered one of the biggest parties and snowboard competitions to hit the scene in South Lake Tahoe, will feature DJ’s, live music, and of course; pyrotechnics.

Lake Tahoe Ski Season Opening Dates
It’s that time of year, fall is coming to a close and the winter air is sending chills through our spine. It’s also that same winter air that sends shivers of anticipation through our core. We’re talking pure excitement, can barely wait, ready to get on the hill and shred the moment the mountains in Lake Tahoe open.
Usually, mid to late November brings about this change in our behavior and has us, along with thousands of other powder pushers packing our things and headed for the hills. And by hills, don’t mean the bunny hill, we mean top of the peak, views of Lake Tahoe from every angle, king of the mountain. 
So who is joining us this month? Let’s get out there and celebrate winter by hitting the slopes on opening day at these ski resorts:

The trending #bearselfie
Remember last week when we told you about the bear selfies people in South Lake Tahoe were taking? Well, we’re sad to report this is now “trending”. Tourists equipped with a smart phone have been capturing snapshots of themselves near and around bears in the Lake Tahoe area, causing the upward rise in #bearselfies on social media.
You may have seen some popular photos like these circulating the web and news sites:
Due to the Kokanee Salmon run in Tahoe, whordes of people and bears have been flocking to the same riverfront destinations. Lisa Herron, spokesperson for the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, recently told the Reno Gazette-Journal, ”We’ve had mobs of people that are actually rushing toward the bears trying to get a ‘selfie’ photo. It is presenting a safety issue. We are afraid someone is going to get attacked.”
We highly recommend staying away from the bears and prevent a new trend of #bearselfiegonewrong. If you do happen upon a bear, this is what you should actually be doing, according to BearSmart.com Avoid, avoid avoid!
