Roop Street Reopening
Submitted by on Sun, 12/05/2010 - 10:59amLooks like there’s finally an opening date set for Roop Street. They’ve been rebuilding the stretch of Roop between Washington Street and the Lone Mountain Cemetery ever since the early summer. This has caused big headaches for traffic around town, since that is one of the major north-south routes through that part of town. Although, they wisely waited until the Stewart Street extension was done, so at least there was an easy detour to get around all the construction. But it will still be good to get all the cones and detour signs down and be able to sail through.

Sierra-at-Tahoe to open Tuesday; top to bottom on Wednesday
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 11/22/2010 - 5:27pmLooks like a great snowsport season ahead as Tahoe resorts are opening all over, the latest being Sierra-at-Tahoe on Tuesday.

Several Tahoe ski resorts to open this weekend
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 11:47pmA handful of Lake Tahoe ski resorts prepare to open for the season this weekend thanks to an early snowfall, snowmaking guns and a fairly large storm set to punch the Sierra.
Around a foot or more of natural snow across the Sierra earlier this month certainly helped get things moving. With this weekend's anticipated storm, which may bring anywhere from 2-4 feet of snow to the Sierra, resorts should get a nice healthy boost just in time for the holiday season.
Here's what we know:

Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 11:54amLast week I wrote that I was the only spectator at the Friday night opening of the Western Musical Comedy production of "White Christmas."

Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sat, 11/06/2010 - 7:20amYep, I got to the Carson Community Center a 7:30 p.m. Friday night, ready to enjoy the Western Nevada musical "White Christmas." Big show, big cast, great music.
But the audience didn't show up. No one but me, except for Stephanie Arrigotti, producer and director and her cast of thousands.I then realized the the WNMCC opens its shows on Saturdays rather then Fridays.
So what, I was there, the orchestra was warming up, the actors were on stage, the house lights were dimmed and there were plenty of seats, so I sat to enjoy a private preview, the dress rehearsal.

Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 10/19/2010 - 2:22pmWith a new boss at Heavenly, onetime ski bum Pete Sonntag, things are humming there as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Sonntag is a real skier (and boarder) who was on the Vail demo team, so you can be sure he’ll be out on the hill checking things out himself.
