The 41st annual winter festival, began Thursday, March 2, and continues this week with events that were postponed.

One of the absolute highlights of SNOWFEST has always been the Tahoe City Dog Pull that takes place Saturday, April 22 from 11AM – noon. A lively event with cocktails hosted by Alpine Power Equipment to raise money for Palisade Avalanche Dogs! A snow run will be made which will be fenced and staked with tools provided by the Tahoe City PUD. The weight of the dog will determine how much weight they pull. A prize bag will be awarded for each dog’s weight class in their winning division. Pete & Peter’s 395 N Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA 96145.
