It’s easy to get into a rut as we approach the winter season. Less sunlight, cooler temperatures, and a busy holiday season around the corner make it easy to relax your well-being goals. It may happen slowly — now you’re only going to the gym once per week, rather than the three times per week that you were maintaining earlier in the summer. You might be eating more, snacking in front of the TV long after the sun has gone down … but wait, it’s only 8 p.m.!
Don’t let this season get you down — use it as a time before the rush of the holidays to reset your wellness goals and connect with like-minded people. The seventh annual Lake Tahoe Wellness Weekend features three days of mindfulness in the Sierra Nevada, Nov. 9-11. Immerse yourself in an educational seminar, or grow in your practice with a movement workshop. Wellness Weekend features two tracks of classes, movement and lecture-based, creating a unique fusion that is designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

While tourists and locals alike have been hiking, mountain biking, and hopefully getting one or two beach days in, the professionals who keep Tahoe’s food scene lively have been hard at work. This summer, we saw a variety of restaurant openings, including some rather creative grassroots options run by longtime Tahoe locals.
In Truckee, it’s been an active summer for restaurant openings and expansions, and several new offerings away from the main downtown area are drawing attention, including Drink Coffee, Do Stuff and Truckee Brewing Co. on Pioneer Trail. DCDS is the new endeavor from retired pro snowboarder Nick Visconti, who developed a love for coffee while sampling Swiss cappuccinos, espressos, artisan coffees, and more on a ski trip to the Alps. He spent five years on roasting apprenticeships with various Pacific Northwest coffee roasters, determined to roast his own coffee in his hometown. Now, DCDS brews seven various light and dark offerings, as well as a decaf, and is open for visits every day from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

It’s hard to sum up the serenity and history of a place that’s been on the map since the 1800s in just 500-ish words. Owners John and Patty Brissenden acquired Sorensen’s Resort in Hope Valley in 1982 and have the same affliction when describing the place.

The Downtown Carson City Farmers’ Market recently earned the distinguished honor of being selected for National Farmers Market Week by the Farmers Market Coalition, making this Carson gem one of only a handful of markets in the country to receive such an honor. The annual event, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, serves to bring national attention to the importance that these markets play in the food systems of communities, states, and the nation. Held between August 5 and 11, the primary aim of the week (and of the FMC overall), is to strengthen these markets for the benefit of farmers, communities, and consumers alike.
