The 29th Annual SnowFest of North Lake Tahoe and Truckee has something for everyone. Enjoy a wide range of activities at resorts like Squaw Valley USA, Alpine Meadows, Homewood, Diamond Peak, and Northstar-at-Tahoe. There will be special events, parades, races, parties, concerts, theater, and plenty of wining and dining at North Lake Tahoe's fine restaurants and lively establishments. This bash is for everyone, with plenty of things to do for families and children. The SnowFest calendar of events has a complete listing of everything that will be going on.

SnowFest kicks off on Friday, March 5, with numerous activities around North Lake Tahoe. The highlight should be the opening night ceremonies at Squaw Valley, with the crowning of the Snowfest queen, a laser show, torchlight parade, and fireworks display, all followed by a big party in Olympic Plaza. There will be a new even as well - the 1st Annual 80's Retro Dance Party. Events continue through March 14, culminating with, among other things, a snow sculpture contest at River Ranch near Alpine Meadows and the Alaskan Open, a snowshoe golf match at the Tahoe City Golf Course. For more information, call (530) 583-7167.
