Gar Woods' Polar Bear Swim: Cold & Crazy

The 29th Annual Gar Woods' Polar Bear Swim, held every year during the North Lake Tahoe Snowfest, again delivered on its promise of a wild and wacky good time.

Wild Wind, Waves & Water Pound The Shores of North Lake Tahoe

The seemingly incessant series of winter storms that have rolled through the Sierra this January turned wet and wild for a few days in early February. On February 9th, after three days of rain, the winds and waves kicked up to new heights (7' waves on the lake were forecast).  During a jaunt along the North Shore, we captured this segment documenting the scene.

Locations include:

  • Gar Woods Grill & Pier and Sierra Boat Company in Carnelian Bay
  • Tahoe Vista shoreline
  • Captain Jon's Restaurant in Tahoe Vista
