Celebrating Kym Fabel’s Retirement

After 27 years as the North Tahoe Visitor Information Center Manager, Kym Fabel recently retired, leaving behind a lasting legacy in North Lake Tahoe. Known as the welcoming face of the region, Kym shared her warmth, local knowledge, and passion with countless visitors and community members, helping make their stays unforgettable.

A self-described “Navy Brat,” Kym was born in Spain and has lived across the country—including Norfolk, San Diego, Pacific Grove, Castro Valley, Davis, and Tahoe. Over the years, she has worked in diverse roles, from testing Central Valley soils for gas exploration at Chevron to ticket sales at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort and serving as Director of Group Sales at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where she launched the aquarium’s first behind-the-scenes tours. She also worked in lodging at Northstar California Resort before finding her “dream job” at the Visitor Center in Tahoe City in 1999.

In her role, Kym thrived on helping visitors discover the best North Lake Tahoe recreation, restaurants, and lodging. She enjoys mountain biking, paddleboarding, hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail, and volunteering as a site steward, monitoring archaeological sites in Nevada with the BLM and U.S. Forest Service.

Kym’s dedication, expertise, and genuine spirit have made a lasting impact on our community. Please join us in celebrating her remarkable career and wishing her all the best in her well-deserved retirement!
