STORY
SUMMARY: May 1,
2008 – It’s that time of year when skiers and duffers
rejoice, with the opportunity to make turns and birdies on the
same day at North Lake Tahoe's ski and golf resorts.
FOOTAGE
DESCRIPTION: The footage includes shots of skiers and
snowboarders making spring turns at Squaw
Valley USA (shot on Wednesday, April 30), and golfers taking
to the links at the historic Old
Brockway golf course in Kings Beach, North Lake Tahoe.
SUGGESTED
COPY: Spring is a magical time of year in North Lake
Tahoe because it provides outdoor enthusiasts with the opportunity
to ski and golf - all in the same day. Many visitors will spend
their mornings blazing down the slopes at Alpine
Meadows (Open through May 4) or Squaw
Valley USA, (open through May 11), and then hitting the
links that afternoon at Old
Brockway golf course in Kings Beach (now open), the Championship
Course in Incline Village, (opening Friday, May 9) or Northstar™
Resort’s golf couorse (opening May 10).
The
day is topped off with an alpenglow dinner at one of the North
Shore’s award-winning, lakefront restaurants, including
West Shore’s Sunnyside
Restaurant and West
Shore Cafe, Carnelian Bay’s Gar
Woods Grill, Jake’s
On the Lake in Tahoe City and the upscale Lone
Eagle Grille in Incline Village. And in Crystal Bay, four
lively casinos make for some of the lake’s best late-night
entertainment.
