A GIFT FOR YOU: New Tahoe Backgrounds for Zoom Conferencing

March 30, 2020 by Skyler Monaghan

We know many of you are now spending long days on video conference calls, when you would probably rather be in Tahoe. While we practice safe distancing and try not to stress our small but mighty healthcare systems, we have another option for you! Thanks to a fun background feature on Zoom and our good friend, photographer Justin Majeczky, now you can take your video calls from the mountains of Tahoe.

To download the photos scroll to the bottom of this post. Remember where you saved them so you can easily navigate to them when you get to the step to upload new backgrounds.

  1. Open a video and click the small up arrow next to the “Video” icon
  • Once you click on the little arrow select “Choose a virtual background”
  • Now you can add photos to your virtual background by clicking on the “+” and selecting the files you downloaded from Tahoe Fund. Remember to navigate to where you saved the files.  

One last small tip- click on the video tab on the left menu bar, then unselect “mirror”

We know it is not the same as being in Tahoe, but we hope this brings a little joy to your days. Thankfully, the mountains and Lake will still be here when this passes. And with your continued support, Tahoe Fund will continue to work to ensure their long term preservation.

Lake Tahoe Fun Fact: Stay Safe at Home

March 26, 2020 by Skyler Monaghan

Today’s Tahoe Fun Fact is a reminder to please stay home right now. Social distancing plays a key role in stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The more we stay at home and away from others, the more likely we are to not receive or pass the virus. Mountain communities like ours have limited medical capacity, so it’s critical we do our part to slow transmission/flatten the curve. Thankfully, the mountains and Lake will still be here when this passes. And with your continued support, Tahoe Fund will continue to work to ensure their long term preservation.

March 20, 2020 by Guest

In just the last 4 days, we have received 120 Inches of snow. While it’s a bittersweet arrival of “Miracle March,” this late season snow will reduce the threat of drought for our trees and fill the Lake back up

Tahoe Fund Enjoys Platinum First Tracks at Northstar

March 11, 2020 by Guest

Photos provided by the Northstar EpicMix team

Friday, February 28th was a special day for the Tahoe Fund as we hit the slopes in the early morning for Platinum First Tracks at Northstar. 

The snow was fresh and spirits were high as a special group of donors and Tahoe Fund board members enjoyed deep corduroy courtesy of Northstar. We were also joined by members of the Northstar executive team, including Vice President and General Manager, Deirdra Walsh. 

We gathered to thank our donors and celebrate Vail Resort’s $1 donation program that allows guests of Northstar, Heavenly, and Kirkwood to contribute $1 to the Tahoe Fund on lift tickets, hospitality, and rounds of gold. Those dollars have really added up and have helped us complete environmental projects all around Tahoe. 

After some great skiing, our friends from Paradigm8 provided the group with a special experience in Tahoe Mountain Club’s Schaffer’s Camp featuring a five star meal, a beautiful view and a Bloody Mary bar sponsored by J.P. Morgan. 

Special thanks to Northstar, J.P. Morgan, Paradigm8 and all of our donors and board members for a great day celebrating the work of the Tahoe Fund.
