Calling local youth: we’re hiring the 2026 Lake

Calling local youth: we’re hiring the 2026 Lake Tahoe Ambassadors — the crew that’ll spend this summer at our beaches, trailheads, and visitor centers helping keep Tahoe, Tahoe.

This is a paid summer internship run with our partners at the Sierra Nevada Alliance. Ambassadors get hands-on training in natural history, wildfire prevention, trail stewardship, species ID, and public communication — then bring it all to the field, sharing Leave No Trace tips, picking up litter, and logging citizen-science observations alongside college-level crew leaders.

If you know a young person who loves this place, send them our way. 🌲

North Lake Tahoe’s priorities were heard in Wash

North Lake Tahoe’s priorities were heard in Washington, D.C. last month.

NTCA President & CEO Tony Karwowski joined 11 other “Team Tahoe” representatives for two days of meetings with senators, House representatives, and federal agencies — advocating for the funding and legislation that directly impacts our community.

Forest health. Water quality. Transportation. Invasive species. Wildfire prevention. These aren’t abstract policy issues — they’re the things that shape daily life here.
This is what showing up for North Tahoe looks like.

This season, getting to those events is even easier.

From Tahoe City to Olympic Valley and the West Shore, these free transit options are designed to reduce congestion and make it easier to enjoy everything our community has to offer.

These services, funded by TOT-TBID Dollars At Work, support a more connected, accessible, and vibrant North Lake Tahoe.

Summer road construction is coming to North Lake T

Summer road construction is coming to North Lake Tahoe — and we’re already at the table.

NTCA has been having the tough conversations with regional agencies so our community has a voice before the cones go up.

In the meantime? This might be the summer to dust off the bike, hop on TART, or explore the trail network on your way to work.

North Tahoe has the infrastructure — sometimes a little construction is the nudge we need to actually use it.

Join us at our First Tuesday Breakfast Club on April 7 to hear directly from the agencies behind this summer’s road projects.

NTCA used TOT-TBID dollars to help fund free-to-th

NTCA used TOT-TBID dollars to help fund free-to-the-rider TART Winter Park & Ride services to Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, and Sugar Bowl, helping reduce road congestion on weekends. As reported by the Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association, use of the free service continued to grow, with over 72% of riders reportedly from the San Francisco Bay Area who had heard about its convenience from the resorts. The majority of shuttle riders indicated they chose to use Park & Ride either because they didn’t have a parking reservation or simply didn’t want to deal with driving and parking.

Big news for North Tahoe. 🏔️ The Placer Count

Big news for North Tahoe. 🏔️ The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved over $5M in TOT funding for seven community projects through NTCA’s TOT-TBID Dollars at Work Annual Grant Cycle.

From the Scotty Lapp Memorial Skate Park and public art at North Tahoe Regional Park, to new trails, workforce housing programs, and a Tahoe City Events Park and Ride Pilot — these are real investments in the people, places, and experiences that make North Tahoe home.

Being part of a tight-knit community like ours mea

Being part of a tight-knit community like ours means that the heartbreak and profound loss experienced in recent days are shared by all of us. At the same time, the gratitude and appreciation felt for the helpers — including the brave, selfless volunteers who make up the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue team — is palpable.

For those looking for a tangible way to support this team and the incredible life-saving search-and-rescue services they provide to the public, there are several ways to help: sign up for The Great Ski Race on March 1 and participate in either the 26km or 10km course, or consider donating directly to Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue.

Since 1977, The Great Ski Race, the only annual fundraiser for Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue, has brought the North Tahoe community together to both challenge and support one another in friendly competition.

We are proud to support Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue as a sponsor of The Great Ski Race, and we are grateful for the unflinching support they provide our community. Let us all do the same for them. Sign up or make a donation now at thegreatskirace.com
