The Road to WinterWonderGrass

Throughout February and March, there have been many performances on “The Road to WinterWonderGrass.” March 4th, you can see Caltucky at Alibi Incline Public House, and the Broken Compass Band performs on March 18th.  The kickoff show is Thursday March 30th with a free concert at the Village Plaza. The Sweet Lillies are an acoustic string band and will get Festival participants in the right spirit for a weekend of great roots music.

Palisades Tahoe, formerly Squaw Valley, is famous for the 1960’s Olympics. Today, it is still home to many of the athletes on the US Ski Team. This year, they opened their gondola, which connects the Alpine Meadows resort to Palisades Tahoe. Hopping on and off a shuttle is no longer required. Both resorts have added upgrades in 2022 that have made riding up to the ski runs much faster.

We’ve had an epic year of snow and more is on the way! Forecasts call for snow through the end of February and into the first week of March. This is a great time to invest in your mountain retreat for years to come. Contact me today for a list of available properties.
