One of the best ways to enjoy the amazing weather we have in Lake Tahoe is to head out with some friends and play a round of disc golf. It is a great way to enjoy nature and spend some time outside on a beautiful day. There are three different courses in the Lake Tahoe area and each of them offer different obstacles and terrain that make each unique. The first course “Bijou” is located off of Al Tahoe right by the skate park, and is the closest to most south shore guests. With 27 holes you can play all afternoon.

This course has the most trees of any of Lake Tahoe’s disc golf courses so bring you’re A game. There are many picnic tables scattered throughout the course so pack a lunch and hang out for a while. If your playing early season watch out for the sixth hole because you may land in “the lake” it normally evaporates by the middle of summer though. All in all a great course that will challenge most and the games go quick because of the lack of many elevation changes and hilly terrain. The second and most challenging course is located in the park in Zephyr Cove. Bring some good shoes because you will encounter many elevation changes and steep grades.

This course has beautiful lake views from a number of holes and will really challenge even the best of players. Pay attention to your drives because it is not uncommon to lose a disc… there is a lot of thick brush and quite a bit of trees. This course is also the least crowded so even though it is challenging it is good for beginners because they can take their time and even take practice shots.

If you like challenging yourself this is the place for you… just be ready to climb some hills. The third course is actually located on the mountain at Kirkwood. This course is not for the unfit… the base of the course is at 7800’ and you go up from there. With 18 challenging holes that weave throughout the mountain it is a great way to see what the ski area looks like without tons of snow on it. Take the beautiful drive out to Kirkwood and play in the sun you won’t be disappointed. Whatever course you choose they are all a great time and the best part FREE! So get out and play a round and we’ll see you out on the course.

New to Lake Tahoe is Ryan Manning Photography! Are you looking to have your family portrait taken while vacationing at Lake Tahoe? Perhaps you are getting married in our beautiful area. Then Ryan Manning Photography can take care of all your needs.

Ryan is a newly transplanted photographer to Lake Tahoe and wishes to share his skills and passion for portraits with everyone.  He has been a professional for over 15 years and crafted countless family photos for a variety of customers. Specializing in outdoor candid photography, his style is perfect for the spectacular background that is present all around us at Lake Tahoe. His photo shoots are casual, fun, fluid and effortless yet provide all the setups and pairings you would ever want from your photo session.

Ryan’s photography history started when he was 10 years old and his parents bought him a Kodak 110 camera for Christmas. Little did he know that his first photo out of his bedroom window would lead him to an eventual career that would combine his passion for technology, art and people. After acquiring the nickname “One Hour Photo” in high school, Ryan attended the University of  Washington where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography. After graduation the call of mountains and streams led him to Sun Valley, Idaho where he managed a photo company for ten years. Responsible for all the on-mountain photography for Sun Valley Company, Ryan honed his skills daily both photographing and printing photos for all his clients. In the Spring of 2009, Ryan took the opportunity to move to another fantastic destination resort and came to the shores of Lake Tahoe. His photography career here may just be beginning, but promises to be exciting and challenging. Just the way he wants it!

Ryan’s clients have ranged from families to Realtors, community corporations, dance studios, athletes, C.E.O.’s, brides and grooms to the  Nature Conservancy and the now infamous Lehman Brothers Inc. But his greatest client is whoever is in front of his lens. His eye, attention to detail and 15 years of skill combine to make everyone look their best. Through study and practice Ryan also continually hones his craft to ensure technical quality in every photograph. With mastery of classic looks and the flexibility to capture new and exciting trends in the photography process, Ryan is sure to deliver the look you are after. And on the production side of your photographic investment, Ryan contributes further value in that he personally custom prints every photo he makes. His prints aren’t sent out to some far away lab to have someone else work on them; rather your images are hand crafted by the artist who captured your photographs.  This has sadly almost become a lost art in the world of professional photography, and is something that Ryan takes great pride in. Ryan guarantees your photographs to be of the highest professional quality.

Please visit Ryan’s Lake Tahoe Photography website to see samples of his work, give him a call at 530-721-2208 or e-mail Ryan to discuss how he can help you bring your images to life. Whether it is for your Lake Tahoe wedding or your family portraits on The Lake, work with Ryan Manning Photography, and expect the best for Lake Tahoe photography.

Lake Tahoe snow conditions continue to be in fine mid-winter form even with the lengthening days. Temperatures have been downright frigid the past few nights with thermometers bottoming out at just about the (0) zero number! Days have been in the mid 30′s with cloudy and on again off again snow showers. The storm that hit the Lake Tahoe basin earlier in the week left in it’s wake nearly 2 feet at the highest elevations and set the stage for an impressive powder weekend with plenty of stashes still left to be had. Kirkwood claims to have picked up around 28 inches in the past week.

The upcoming week may prove to interesting especially the first part with a cold Gulf of Alaska low forecasted to drop into the Lake Tahoe basin sometime late Monday into Tuesday. Precipitation will not be terribly impressive but the quality should by dynamite! After that things will dry out until another storm rears it’s head next weekend.
