SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - For over 100 years, some boat owners were known to scuttle their boats in Lake Tahoe instead of paying for dismantling or removal. In the case of the SS Tahoe, it was meant to be an underwater museum near the shore of Glenbrook in 1940 after spending years docked and rusting in Tahoe City, but a miscalculation of the slope caused the boat to sink to almost 400 feet under water. An underwater trail highlights boats and barges sunk in Emerald Bay.
But times and environmental awareness have changed.
Every year boats, both wind and gas-powered, become disabled on Lake Tahoe. Most are towed or recovered, but in some cases the boats sink and/or are abandoned, leaving an unsightly submerged boat off the shore of the lake until someone takes care of it. Winter wind, rain, and snow perpetuate the problem, and the response.

Last Friday started as one of those perfect winter days in Tahoe. A storm dropped about a foot of new snow during the night, and in the morning, the sky cleared.
By the end of the day, however, the Sierra Avalanche Center had received numerous reports of avalanches. Some slides occurred naturally; however, many were triggered by backcountry skiers and snowboarders.
That day, the snowpack had several big issues lurking that were created by the overnight storm. First thing in the morning, the Sierra Avalanche Center posted its forecast, a daily briefing that gives backcountry skiers and snowboarders (as well as people who drive snowmobiles) lifesaving knowledge about what’s happening in the snowp
