Saving Lives: The 'Great Ski Race' funds another year for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team

Sunday morning North Lake Tahoe saw the return of the “Great Ski Race.” The race has been on hiatus for several years due to snow conditions and the pandemic. Returning in 2022, the race acts as the main fundraiser for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team (TNSAR). Since its founding in 1976, TNSAR has saved nearly 700 people who have found themselves stuck in the mountains. The team was created following a tragic accident involving a young lost skier; according to TNSAR, at the time of the accident, North Lake Tahoe did not have a designed search and rescue team. Thus TNSAR was founded.
