Snow on the mountain
November 2, 2008
Today I awoke to snow on the mountain tops. Not much longer before we have some skiing at Heavenly. It seems like fall with the leaves dropping and rain. Temps are moving into winter ranges…..Let it snow!
Boat Ramp Requirements Take Effect Today
November 1, 2008
As reported in the Tahoe Daily Tribune, a requirement that boat ramps and launching facilities at Lake Tahoe be staffed with qualified aquatic invasive species inspectors takes effect on Saturday, Nov. 1, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency said today.
The rules, approved by the TRPA Governing Board, make all watercraft subject to inspection by qualified personnel, and also require that vessels launching at the lake be decontaminated if inspectors determine that vessels pose a risk of infesting the lake with such invasives as the quagga or zebra mussels.
Beginning Saturday and continuing through May 1, inspectors provided by the Tahoe Resource Conservation District are scheduled to be on duty daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather and water level permitting, at the Cave Rock ramp on the South Shore and the Lake Forest ramp near Tahoe City.
