Bizarre how Tahoe City can continue to decline.......best location ever and it just hasnt been supporting businesses for awhile now.
Gone are the days of: Naughty Dog, P&P, Humpties (Altitude whatever), Pierce Street. Only P&P now, right?
How can that happen, I just dont get it.Donjoy to the World!

Loss to TC, although I always figured that the messed up parking at peak times made it hard for people to casually drop in to Porters compared to Dave's which is relatively easy. 2 of the best ski stores (3 if you count 9 lives) gone in a few years. How healthy is Alpenglow?

Referring to what? Inventory? Pretty much every shop works on MAP pricing and prices are uniform across the states. The last place I remember prices being high was down in Mammoth. Never once saw it at Porters, in fact they were usually on sale sooner than others. Unless you're referring to Labor, which I can't speak to.

The consignment store has been revived at NUTS in the Cobblestone mall but I don't know if they bought out 9 lives on the way.

Tahoe City simply and desperately needs a new anchor for local business. Whether a resort type hotel or something else needs to be developed. As it stands now, I don't know how any business -retail or otherwise- is able to make a go of it there anymore.
