Lake Tahoe is ~4,850 ft. in altitude. In May it will probably be pretty cold, with a good possibility of snow keeping the campgrounds closed. The average temperature for Tahoe in May is a high of 61 and a low of 32.

If it ends up being a productive snow winter, you may need to count on hotel rooms, rather than camping.

I'm wondering the same thing; anyone else concerned about the weather? I recall being in Tahoe in May some years ago, and there was snow everywhere. Perhaps it was an exceptional snow year; the skiing was great as I remember.

Not slamming, just thought I'd bring it up as well.

Not at all concerned about the weather. Bring a jacket, it gets cool at night. Yes, there is often still snow on the ground at higher elevation but almost never snow falling.

I'll be there, but prolly no chance my car will be done.

I used to live in Tahoe City, so it'll be like homecoming on the lake for me!!!

I'd like to put together a list of fun activities we can do individually or as a group while we're in Tahoe. We're aiming to have an auto-x, but we're also going to have at least one day-drive. I need to know how long of a drive you're willing to endure. I was considering putting together a drive from South Lake Tahoe around just the East Shore of the lake, up and over Mt. Rose (9k') and then down into the valley and then back up into Virginia City:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source....905884&z=9

Or we could go the more traffic laden way and go further around the lake:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...ie=UTF8&z=9

Coming back we'd just zip down the other side of the mountain from Virginia City and head back via 50 through Carson City.

That's just one idea. If you don't care about Virginia City, then there are a lot of other cool day drives. Thoughts?

As for concerns about the weather: Living as close as I do to Tahoe and having it as my favorite destination I can tell you that there is always snow at the higher elevations. Trees tower hundreds of feet in the air and if the sun never shines there, the snow pack just melts so slowly it lingers for months. I have never seen snow up there past April and even then it is only flurries that melt within a short time.

As for concerns about the hotel. The target host hotel is kind of the red-headed stepchild of the South Lake strip. It is troubled and currently has a limitation on its gambling license but I am not concerned about this as there are three world class hotel casino operations within 100 steps of the hotel, they all have restaurants and buffet operations that are fantastic, and finally 914World guys just want to stand around in the parking lot until 2am and see who "that guy" will be this year. Past performances by Eric Shea, Jeff Hines, Jim Tabor, and Allan Miller have set the bar very high and I hope to someday be "that guy". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But, I am realistic enough to know that I will need these next few months to train and condition my liver for the events!

If you are considering camping, you should be an experienced camper as temperatures can drop to freezing late into the night. If a group of you camps, maybe you could get a cheap room to use for showers because no one wants to smell skank... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't think not having an autocross will break the deal for 99% of you but we are trying to get the cooperation of Sacramento Valley Region of PCA for which I am a board member. They want to help but there is a possibility that a track organization will offer PCA a free parking lot at Infinion for an autocross that same weekend. In which case, we will probably not make their calendar because I am just one vote and pure profit is a powerful motivation.

Thanks for giving us the time to work out problems and thanks for supporting the event with your attendance!

Let's get this party started with a green flag dropping!

I don't do "touristy" stuff. I don't need a "shopping/walking around downtown/fancy lunch" destination for a drive.
