The Lake Tahoe ski season kicked off Wednesday, Nov. 4, thanks to the season’s first storm.
Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe received up to 14 inches of snow up top from the storm that picked up steam overnight Nov. 1 and pelted the region with record rainfall and wet snow into Monday afternoon. Mt. Rose became the first ski resort to open, due to the snow and cold temperatures allowing for continued snowmaking.

3. FiftyFifty owners retract application for new Truckee brewery
Truckee’s Andy Barr and his wife, Truckee Mayor Alicia Barr — who both co-own FiftyFifty Brewing Company — recently rescinded their application to build an 18,500-square-foot brewery on the Arnold property on West River Street, due to time constraints to move forward with needed business expansion, Andy Barr said.
Instead, the Barrs have begun work remodeling an existing 12,000-square-foot building along River Park Place, which shares a parcel line with the Arnold property.

4. Truckee football: Wolverines cap season with Sierra Bowl victory
The 2015 Sierra Bowl on Oct. 31 was touted as a season-ending showdown between two evenly matched, bitter rivals hungry for bragging rights. It certainly lived up to the billing.
After falling behind visiting South Tahoe 7-0 early, Truckee responded with 21 unanswered points and then fended off a second-half comeback attempt to escape with a 21-13 win, ending the Wolverines’ season on a high note with a 5-5 overall record (5-4 division).
