Last Call for SNOWFEST! 🍻❄️

We’re closing out North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST the right way today at Starkbierfest at The Chalet at Alpine — a lively Bavarian-style celebration filled with strong beer, mountain après, and a little friendly competition.

Inspired by the Bavarian tradition of brewing rich “strong beers” during Lent, Starkbierfest brings bold brews, hearty vibes, and classic alpine energy to the mountains.

🍻 Starkbierfest Games
🌭 Wiener Toss – 11:30 AM
🏃‍♂️ Bier Slalom – 12:30 PM
🍺 Stein Holding Contest – 1:30 PM

Expect festive music, big laughs, and plenty of SNOWFEST spirit as we toast an incredible couple of weeks in North Lake Tahoe.

📍 The Chalet at Alpine
⏰ 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM

Note: A valid lift ticket or Ikon Pass is required to access The Chalet, as it is located on-mountain.

Let’s send SNOWFEST out with a stein raised high. 🍻❄️

🥎 Buttaball was a home run!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the 2025 Buttaball Thanksgiving Softball Tournament! Nearly 60 players hit the field for a day of friendly competition, big laughs, and that classic Chicago-style softball fun.

Between team entries, donations, and community spirit, we raised a bunch of money to support North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST and our local scholarships. 🙌

Buttaball is an annual tradition in the making. Same field, same weekend, next year… who’s in? 💪
