A winter storm moving through the Sierra Nevada has left 16 inches of fresh snow at Palisades Tahoe and 17 inches at Alpine Meadows as of Friday afternoon, giving a welcome late season gift to eager skiers and snowboarders.

Celebrate the Earth and join Palisades Tahoe Alpine Meadows for the largest eco-event in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area. Truckee Tahoe Earth Day gives participants the opportunity to learn about earth-friendly practices including recycling, composting, alternative energy and sustainability. A diverse array of agency representatives and earth friendly vendors will be present to help participants learn more about how they can reduce their ecological footprint.
