SUMMARY: March

Tahoe ski resorts, and Easter events abound on and off the slopes
this coming weekend.
FOOTAGE
DESCRIPTION: Footage includes shots taken Monday, March

enjoying the spring weather and new snow. Plus, soundbites (see

SUGGESTED
COPY: With a record snowpack and over a foot of new
snow this past weekend, Easter Weekend is a sure bet for fun
in North Lake Tahoe. Visitors can get into the spirit with a
variety of egg hunts and fun events held on and off the slopes
around the region.
Tahoe
City’s free annual Easter Egg Hunt takes place lakeside
at Commons Beach at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 22. In Incline Village,
the Egg Hunt starts at 11:15 a.m. Saturday at Incline Beach.
The Village at Squaw Valley pulls out all the stops with a free
1,000-egg Easter Egg Hunt Sunday, March 23. Those that are lucky
enough to find the Golden Egg win a Children’s Season
Pass to Squaw Valley USA. Look for the Easter Bunny between
10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the Village. The Easter Bunny will also
make an appearance Sunday at the Village at Northstar. And,
for a real challenge, guests can participate in a free, raw
egg toss at 3:30 p.m. with prizes awarded to the winners.
