After a bitter 15-year fight, ski resort developers and environmentalists sat down at the same table and negotiated a project that everyone can get behind at Palisades Tahoe. The development cleared its final hurdle in a key vote yesterday. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

The Garnet Fire — CA's 3rd largest of 2025 — made a significant run on Sunday and into Monday, burning through an additional 12K acres up a large drainage full of dead and downed trees in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Shaver Lake. via @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Shari Chase is behind billions of dollars of real estate sales in Lake Tahoe. But she says she doesn't sell houses — she's doing spiritual work to make people's dreams come true. A behind-the-scenes look at what selling Lake Tahoe's priciest homes is really like. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

A bad week for bears in Tahoe ended with a crowd of activists shouting at an entry-level government employee in a second homeowner's backyard. For @sfgate.com: www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

I went out on a boat on Lake Tahoe with Sen. Adam Schiff during his recent visit to host the Tahoe summit. I asked him what Democrats are doing to fight back against the Trump administration's cuts. Here's what he told me: www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

Sparsely populated, way out in the mountains, Alpine County and Markleeville have always intrigued me. I learned a little bit more about what makes this place so interesting on a recent visit. www.sfgate.com/travel/artic...

With three national forests, dozens of lakes and a handful of rivers, Alpine County has more campgrounds than towns. via @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/travel/artic...

Emergency responders found four unused personal flotation devices, or PFDs, and one life ring at the site where the boat capsized, with more PFDs stowed on the capsized boat, including some that were still in their packaging. via @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

I was OOO last week when this story finally made its debut to the world, but still wanted to share because it's one I've been thinking about for a long time and was a rad team-effort alongside @asos.bsky.social. Inside the brewing fight to turn the Sierra blue: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Environmental watchdogs landed a monumental agreement with Tahoe's largest ski resort, Palisades, to resolve a 14-year-long conflict. The resolution sets Tahoe on a new course for the future. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

A mother bear swiped and injured camper in Tahoe. The attack cost the bear her life. And summer's just getting started. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

I called up public lands defenders and advocates across California to find out what the latest push from Congress to sell public lands could mean for the Golden State. For @sfgate.com: www.sfgate.com/california/a...

whew. powerful accountability reporting on this Yosemite legend by @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/california-p...

A federal report documents rodent infestations in Yosemite's iconic Ahwahnee Hotel. That's just the start. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

At Yosemite’s Ahwahnee, employees reported food contamination issues from rodents in the kitchen ceiling above food prep areas. Rodents were also seen in the Ahwahnee Bar, which health inspectors shut down multiple times last year. via @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/california-p...

Nevada changed the rules for high school sports, implementing a transgender sports ban. It's dividing California mountain towns in Tahoe. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

My day on Lake Tahoe's floating laboratory to investigate the mysteries of the deep blue. For @sfgate.com. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

South Lake Tahoe is no longer giving away 'corporate welfare' to the Vail ski empire. My latest story for @sfgate.com. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

“If they really want to play hardball, I can play hardball and we’ll annex the whole entire mountain, all on the Calif. side, because I’m not playing,” South Lake Tahoe Mayor Tamara Wallace said. “This is what my community needs.” via @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

Grim as it is for Lake Tahoe and its #wildfire prone basin @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social points out “more job losses are likely imminent. Politico reported on Thursday plans to lay off 7,000 more workers in the forest service.”

Tahoe is a very expensive place to get married, with a six-digit-budget barrier to entry. This hotel is one of the most exclusive venues in Tahoe — and it abruptly canceled a slate of weddings, sending couples into a tailspin. My latest story, for @sfgate.com. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

Homewood shut down the lifts this season after a bitter fight over public access at the beloved resort reached a stalemate. My latest story for @sfgate.com is about what comes next:

A big story I've been covering this fall has been the approval of a large development at Palisades that promises to reshape North Tahoe. I started writing about this project a decade ago — and it keeps going, and going, and going. Here's a 🧵 with my latest stories for @sfgate.com about it.

Because soon you're going to be tired of turkey leftovers and pizza will sound so good. I wrote about a pizza restaurant in South Lake Tahoe that keeps ranking among the best in the country. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

The story in which I learned that @juliebrowndavis.bsky.social is an enormous pizza stan. Somehow, someway this @sfgate.com feature made me hungry the morning after Thanksgiving: www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

Yesterday, the Placer County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a development at a Tahoe ski resort that the community has fought against for 10-plus years. My story for @sfgatedotcom.bsky.social.
