League to Save Lake Tahoe, business battle over use of popular logo go to article
There's The Brewery at Lake Tahoe's "Drink Tahoe Brew," Blue Turtle Seduction's "Keep Tahoe Seductive," Tahoe Hemp Company's "Keep Tahoe Green," and seemingly countless others.
But one variation on the League to Save Lake Tahoe's famous "Keep Tahoe Blue" logo recently attracted the attention of the conservation group's lawyers.
On July 16, Rochelle Alpert, an attorney representing the league, sent a letter to Chris Minnes, the owner of Keep Tahoe Fit, contending the South Shore personal trainer's logo infringed on the conservation group's registered trademark.
Keep Tahoe Fit's initial logo closely resembled the league's, which includes a light blue stamp of Lake Tahoe's shape to the left of white, uppercase, sans serif letters reading "Keep Tahoe Blue" on a blue background. Minnes replaced th

That's heli-awesome, bro go to article
It's an experience Tahoe resident Dave Rintala loves and questions.
"The thing that I like to think about is that when skiing was first originated and birthed, it was about powdered snow," said Rintala.
That vision changed, he said, after skiing ignited and exploded into what is today, a multi-million dollar mega industry. It changed when the lift lines began extending into parking lots and the lumbering rumble of grooming machines echoed into the pines.
Unopposed to progression, Rintala said he understands the need for lifts and grooming in modern resorts but has always hungered for another way, the alternate route beyond the crowds and
