SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.- The South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD) announced the rollout of pre-arrival text messaging. Beginning next week, callers who contact dispatch will receive text messages when they report certain crimes or concerns. These messages will provide callers with important information to assist them with their call. The messages can give helpful directions about gathering important documents if they were a victim of identity theft or getting to a safe location after being involved in a collision. The pre-arrival text messages will come in from a 530-area code number. This number will not accept incoming messages.
This feature is supported through Power Engage, a community engagement platform that helps dispatch centers provide timely, relevant information to callers. SLTPD looks forward to offering this enhanced service as another way to better serve and support our community.
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Travel North Tahoe Nevada (TNTNV) announced today that the Welcome Center and organization’s offices will temporarily relocate to allow for long-planned repairs and facility improvements at its current location.
Located at 937 Tahoe Boulevard, Suite 150, the temporary Welcome Center will provide visitor information and resources during the construction period.

“These improvements have been planned for some time and are an important investment in the future of the Welcome Center, which plays a vital role in educating visitors on sustainable visitation practices and learning more about Lake Tahoe,” said Andy Chapman, President and CEO of Travel North Tahoe Nevada. “Temporarily relocating allows us to complete this work efficiently while continuing to serve visitors and support the local economy. We appreciate the community’s patience as we complete these necessary upgrades.”
Once repairs are complete, the Welcome Center will reopen at its original location with improved operational efficiency designed to better serve visitors and align with TNTNV’s broader destination management goals.
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Backcountry access in Lake Tahoe received a huge boost thanks to community members participating in the Tahoe Fund’s $10K for TBA matching challenge. The nonprofit organization announced that more than 100 people donated to support the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance (TBA), unlocking a $10,000 gift from the Tahoe Fund and raising over $26,000 to help TBA improve backcountry access for all.
“We called on backcountry enthusiasts to help meet this challenge for TBA’s 10th anniversary, and they blew us away,” said Verdi DiSesa, Tahoe Fund Board Chair. “Thanks to the incredible support from this dedicated community, we are able to make TBA’s job of increasing safe access to the backcountry a little bit easier.”
For over a decade, the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance has been tackling backcountry access issues like parking availability, snow removal, and limited trailheads. As part of their mission, they also offer cross-country ski and snowshoe experiences as part of the Washoe Tribe’s Youth Expedition Program, and provide opportunities to borrow sno-park passes and gear for free at libraries throughout El Dorado, Placer and Nevada Counties.
“We are deeply grateful to the Tahoe Fund for championing our work and investing in human-powered backcountry access for all,” said Anthony Cupaiuolo, Tahoe Backcountry Alliance Executive Director. “This matching campaign will make a meaningful impact for the growing winter backcountry community—from experienced backcountry skiers and snowboarders using the trailheads we manage, to families accessing snow affordably through free sno-park passes and gear available via our library partnerships.”
As part of the challenge, donors that gifted $35 or more received a TBA membership that corresponded to their gift level, offering them access to a community of backcountry experts as well as fun giveaways. Even though the challenge is over, TBA memberships are always available at tahoebackcountryalliance.org/membership.
