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.
