Nevada Nordic is bringing Nordic skiing back to Nevada!

At Nevada Nordic, we want to transform North Lake Tahoe into a sports destination with something for everyone. Our mission is to promote the establishment of a community-supported, cross-country ski and multi-use venue(s) in Nevada’s North Lake Tahoe Area.

We are grooming at Mt Rose (see Grooming Update), and will groom at Spooner State Park soon (see Grooming Update).

The grooming is community supported by your generous donations.

Improve your skiing and connect with other women with similar goals in a supportive female-led clinic setting.

Groups will be divided by levels (see below).

From North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District

The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District has over 1000 fire hydrants within our fire jurisdiction. With the recent snowstorm and more on the way, we will be working on clearing fire hydrants.

By Adopting A Hydrant closest to your home or business and keeping it clear of snow and debris you can help to make our community safer. We appreciate the members of our community who already maintain hydrants in their neighborhood and encourage everyone to participate.

If you notice a fire hydrant that is not marked with a “FH” pole, please let us know by calling our Fire Prevention Bureau at 775-831-0351, ext. 8107.

If you notice a damaged or leaking fire hydrant, please call Incline Village General Improvement Public Works at 775-832-1203.

Also, please keep rooftops clear of excessive snow and watch for forming cornices that can pose a dangerous situation. Ask for professional snow removal services to help with this. We also recommend knowing where your gas meter is located and keeping it clear.
