Lake Tahoe and Truckee need more of this!

It's been one of those years here in the mountains. We've had our skis tuned and new boots waiting by the door for one of those epic storms that you just can't wait to get out the door and to the ski hill... and waited... and waited.... a real storm around the holidays to set a base, then a dusting here, flurries there, but not one of those gotta have it storms that give you cabin fever before you can get shovelled out!

One that leaves the trees coated with enough snow to make a magical setting....

Tahoe Donner snow covered

One that makes you want to head out into the wilderness and just explore where there are no trails...

We can only hope more snow is coming. Memories of last summers CA fires are in a lot of locals minds... the water tables need replenishing. March Madness in the form of big storms is on everyone's lips as this months extended forecast doesn't look promising....

LIVE, PLAY, OWN!!!

Get Rubbed the Right Way!

Mark February 13th and 14th from 9:00 am -3:00 p.m. on your calendars! Give your Valentine a heart-felt, sweet treat that doesn't have calories! Finn Jorgensen, one of the original therapists at Tahoe Donner's Trout Creek Massage Center, will be in town. Much to the chagrin of those of us who have experienced his amazing touch, he is only in town a few days per month. So don't miss this opportunity!

From the heated table to the rose oils and meditative music, you are prepared for what could be one of the most transformative experiences you've had on a massage table. He drops into a place that I can only describe as a deep meditation of his own, as he connects with your energy, then proceeds to help you move it through your body. He is skilled in a variety of modalities: Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Reflexology and has created his own variation on those themes. Check out Finn's website for more information and glowing testimonials!

Personally, I compare frequent bodywork to a flower unfolding. As each layer of ache, pain and blockage is released, another petal opens. Each petals contribution makes the whole blossom fuller and more beautiful (and frequently a lot more pain-free).

A massage with Finn promises to be an experience you won't soon forget! To book, log into Trout Creek Massage.
