The Great Ski Race – March 1st

Being part of a tight-knit community like ours means that the heartbreak and profound loss experienced in recent days are shared by all of us. At the same time, the gratitude and appreciation felt for the helpers — including the brave, selfless volunteers who make up the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue team — is palpable.

For those looking for a tangible way to support this team and the incredible life-saving search-and-rescue services they provide to the public, there are several ways to help: sign up for The Great Ski Race on March 1 and participate in either the 26km or 10km course, or consider donating directly to Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue.

Since 1977, The Great Ski Race, the only annual fundraiser for Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue, has brought the North Tahoe community together to both challenge and support one another in friendly competition.

We are proud to support Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue as a sponsor of The Great Ski Race, and we are grateful for the unflinching support they provide our community. Let us all do the same for them.

From high-speed downhill runs to technical slalom turns and gravity-defying snowboard tricks, Truckee – Tahoe athletes delivered strong performances across disciplines at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Here’s a look at how local competitors fared on the world’s biggest winter sports stage.

Alpine Skiing

Olympic Valley skier Bryce Bennett competed in the men’s downhill, one of alpine skiing’s fastest events. Known for long courses and high speeds, downhill races often stretch beyond a minute and a half with wide gate spacing that allows athletes to reach top velocity. Bennett finished 13th with a time of 1:53.45, just 1.84 seconds off the podium.

In the women’s giant slalom, Team USA Nina O’Brien placed 20th, clocking a combined time of 2:15.31, 1.81 seconds behind the leader in the technical two-run event.

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, an award-winning year-round resort nestled in the stunning natural beauty of North Lake Tahoe’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, announces Find Your Flow and Sauna & Soul, two moon-based wellness experiences at Stillwater Spa that invite guests to pause, reconnect, and embrace mindful practices aligned with the natural rhythms of the lunar cycle.

“We’re creating a unique space for guests to explore reflection and movement, whether they are seeking renewal or a deeper connection to themselves and their community,” said Julie Orblych, director of spa and wellness at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe. “Each session is designed to honor the energy of the moon while providing practical tools for relaxation, intention setting, and holistic wellness.”

Sauna & Soul is centered around the New Moon each month and helps participants harness the energy of new beginnings. The two-hour experience includes gentle movement, mindful breathing, and meditation, followed by guided journaling paired with soothing sound vibrations. Guests conclude the session with a sauna and steam ritual to restore balance and leave feeling renewed. Upcoming sessions are on February 17, March 18, and April 17, and the experience is $45 per person.

Find Your Flow is a three-part journey designed to release tension, restore balance, and deepen connection to self and community. Each session is distinct, offering different wellness practices each month. Participants start with restorative stretching and breathing exercises, move into self-myofascial release techniques to ease tightness and increase mobility, and conclude the series with a community discussion plus a sauna and steam ritual. The first flow takes place on February 10, the second on March 24, and the third on April 7, with each session priced at $35 per person.

Guests are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle, journal, and an open mind and heart. Both experiences are led by wellness professionals Jessica Hillman, a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, reiki practitioner, and certified sound healer, and Ashley Ray, a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and certified breathwork instructor. 

Space is limited and advanced reservations are required. For more information or to reserve a spot, call Stillwater Spa at (775) 886-6745.
