My pal Howie Nave is the host, emcee and opening act at the Improv at Harveys at Lake Tahoe's South Shore. He just sent out the upcoming schedule for the comedy club for the spring, and he's got an upcoming lineup of both new acts and familiar favorites.

Howie sez: "Greetings from the Lake. What with fresh white powder in the Sierras and Super Tuesday just around the corner things ...

Friends who hit the tahoe.com ski day at Kirkwood report that the powder was in the vicinity of a yard deep, and Heavenly is reporting something like 160 percent of normal snowpack...

No two ways about it, it's a powderhound paradise in the Sierra this season.

But the same snow that makes for great winter rec opportunities also makes for some hazardous driving conditions.  This past weekend saw an avalanche that closed ...

Amelia Calvert, a new pal over at reno.com and tahoe.com, says her websites are teaming up with the local ski areas this winter, and on Jan. 26, they'll be making the scene at Kirkwood...

Here's what my pal Howie Nave has to say about the acts at the Improv at Harveys, Jan. 22 through Jan. 27

Jason Stewart

"I can’t think of a better comic this week to headline the annual Lake Tahoe Blue Gay-La extravaganza. When it comes to being ‘out’ and hilarious nobody delivers the goods more than actor/comedian Jason Stuart. It’s not only his first time performing up here at ...

Okay, according to a weather report at the beginning of the weekend by Mike Alger, noted meteorologist, vocalist and author, a storm system was supposed to swing down from the north into the Truckee Meadows, push up and over the Sierra, hit a high-pressure system, and then get pushed back over to the Eastern Sierra, all over the course of the better part of a week.

Well, I don't know about ...

One of the principals of the South Shore's (perhaps even Northern Nevada's) most prominent 'personal injury' law firms was spotted walking in downtown Reno near the courthouse yesterday. He was with some people, and we can only assume they were clients. As said lawyer et al came to an intersection where the light said 'Don't Walk', this fellow just kept on at a steady pace. Didn't slow ...

Whether you are a Tahoe local or a visitor to our neck of the woods, if you're a supporter of independent bookstores, you'll be bummed out at the following news.

“The majority of blues music is music that gets rid of your blues,” says Shane Dwight.  And if his life is anything to judge by, he’s absolutely right.

The young singer/guitarist from the coast is just about the hottest thing going in blues bands, and he couldn’t be happier.  But he’s found that people ...

Each winter, South Shore serves as the site for a big Gay and Lesbian Ski Week, and this year, Blue Gay-la takes place on January 23 through 27.

But it's skiing, boarding and snowsports aren't the only Tahe attractions for those of the alternative lifestyle set during this week. Some of the entertainment venues on the South Shore also schedule gay or lesbian, or friends of, performers to coincide with ...

Not only is Liza playing South Shore on Jan. 19, Nevada's most hyped-up caucus day in living history, but Damon Wayans performs on Saturday as well, just up the street at the MontBleu (formerly the Caesars Tahoe) resort.

Wayans has been a peformer since childhood, when he developed his skills in order gain attention among a family that included nine siblings. As an adult, he has parlayed ...
