Tahoe’s maximum depth is more than 1600 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing now is that the climate and the weather are starting to affect the lake more directly,” says Schladow, who notes that Tahoe is only a mirror held up to the rest of the state; if this critical mixing process is shutting down in Tahoe, it’s doubtless happening in other lakes around the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_882001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 716px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-882001\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/07/sotl_2016_snow_as_precipitation_ver1605263-716x429.jpg\" alt=\"The long-term trend at Lake Tahoe -- and elsewhere in the Sierra -- is for more rain and less snow, which affects the state's water supply.\" width=\"716\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/07/sotl_2016_snow_as_precipitation_ver1605263-716x429.jpg 716w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/07/sotl_2016_snow_as_precipitation_ver1605263-716x429-400x240.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The long-term trend at Lake Tahoe — and elsewhere in the Sierra — is for more rain and less snow, which affects the state’s water supply. \u003ccite>(UC Davis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, scientists have warned that the Sierra would gradually see more rain and less snow because of the warming climate, a trend that has potentially dire consequences for California’s water supply.

It offers season passes that can be used at other resorts, so skiers and snowboarders can chase the powder — that is, if they have the money to travel. Squaw also has attractions besides the mountain: restaurants, retail, a winter park with tubing. And there is a plan in the works for further development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wirth says, “We know for a fact we need additional nightly rental lodging units of a higher quality to compete with the great ski resort complexes of Colorado and Utah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone is applauding this competition. Tom Mooers heads Sierra Watch, a local conservation group. He worries about the impact on the already drought-afflicted environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mooers says, “You can make an argument for some kinds of amenities arms race, but that’s probably not the best strategy for the long-term health of Squaw Valley and Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mooers and I are standing by Squaw Creek, which has shrunk to a trickle during these dry years.

Many resort chains are now buying ski areas across the country so they can cash in wherever the snow falls. Scott puts it this way: Climate change is hastening the trend toward consolidation in the ski industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the bigger resorts in Tahoe seem to be handling the bad seasons better than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Squaw Valley is a much larger and higher-elevation resort than Homewood.

Other tribes ate grasshoppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Samuel Clemens had racist views on the native people of this country and has captured those views in his literature,\" Cruz wrote in a letter to the board. \"Therefore, we cannot support the notion of giving a place name in Lake Tahoe to Samuel Clemens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But James Hulse, history professor emeritus at the University of Nevada, Reno, said it's irrelevant whether Twain's writings were insulting to Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cove should be named for Twain because he praised Tahoe's beauty while visiting the lake in 1861-1862, and he became one of America's most beloved authors after assuming his pen name as a Nevada newspaper reporter around the same time, Hulse said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In his early days, (Twain's) ironic-comic mode was insulting to everyone, including governors, legislators, mine bosses and journalistic colleagues,\" he told the board. \"He learned and overcame his prejudices far better than most of his contemporaries and successors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Quirk, an English professor emeritus at the University of Missouri and leading Twain scholar, said the author eventually overcame his racism against blacks. But Quirk said he has found no evidence that he significantly changed his views on American Indians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twain did not embrace the idea of idolizing what he called the \"noble red man,\" Quirk said, and poked fun at writer James Fenimore Cooper for doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When it comes to African Americans, he was ahead of his time substantially,\" he said. \"When it comes to Native Americans, his record is not very good. If he were alive today, he would sing a different tune.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Robert Stewart, who initiated the plan to name the cove for Clemens, said it's unlikely it would resurface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he dropped his support of it, even though he learned about a later letter Twain wrote objecting to the treatment of tribes in Arizona and New Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a great deal of respect for the Washoe Tribe. And if their cultural committee is unhappy with naming the cove for Mark Twain, I'm not going to fight them,\" Stewart said. \"We need to show sensitivity to the tribe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart said he still believes the cove near Incline Village is where Twain camped and accidentally started a wildfire while preparing to cook dinner in September 1861. But David Antonucci, a civil engineer from Homewood, California, maintains Twain camped on the California side of the lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the second time the bid to name the cove for Twain failed. In 2011, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names rejected the request after the U.S. Forest Service said Twain's influence on the Sierra Nevada lake was minimal and other historical figures were more deserving of the honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters sought to honor him because there is no geographic feature in the state named for Twain, whose book \"Roughing It\" put Nevada on the map.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Photo: Lauren Sommer)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over the last 15 years, more than a billion dollars has been spent to protect Lake Tahoe’s clear waters from runoff and erosion. Now, new threats to lake’s clarity are emerging, just as restoration funding is drying up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers from UC Davis are hot on the trail of one of those threats. On a recent late summer morning, Katie Webb and a team from UC Davis’s \u003ca href=\"http://terc.ucdavis.edu/\">Tahoe Environmental Research Center\u003c/a> went looking for it on a boat near South Lake Tahoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So what we’re looking for is a metal clam corral,” Webb says, pulling on her scuba gear. The “clam corral” is a wire basket that holds clams living on the lake bottom. Webb swims down to the bottom and attaches a rope, so the team can pull it on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://terc.ucdavis.edu/research/aquaticinvasives.html\">Asian clams\u003c/a> inside are an invasive species. An unwelcome visitor when discovered in Lake Tahoe in 2002, they are being monitored by Webb and her team to see how fast the population is growing. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you can see this individual is number 11,” she says, pointing to a tiny number super-glued on its shell. “We can see how much they’ve grown since we checked them in February and it should be a lot. They grow a lot in the summertime.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they do is somewhat disturbing,” says Geoff Schladow, director of the Tahoe Environmental Research Center. Asian clams filter massive amounts of lake water and that’s where the problem starts. “Of everything they filter, they consume about 10 percent of it and 90 percent they excrete. So their excretions are like these huge nutrient bombs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24565\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 192px\">\u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/files/2011/09/Asianclam.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/files/2011/09/Asianclam-192x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Asianclam\" width=\"192\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-24565\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Davis researcher Katie Webb holds an Asian clam from their population study.

So far, the treatment looks promising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tahoe Basin Building Boom\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping the lake blue – and not green – has been a rallying cry for both environmental groups and Tahoe’s tourism industry. Forty years ago, scientists could see 100 feet into the lake. Today, clarity has decreased to just 64-feet deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re essentially like a bowl and what happens on the land affects the water,” says Julie Regan of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.trpa.org/\">Tahoe Regional Planning Agency\u003c/a>, which oversees development on both the California and Nevada sides. “What happened on the land in the 50s, 60s and 70s is that we had a lot of development – rampant overdevelopment.” Tahoe hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley.

On behalf of all the riders, we apologize and appreciate everyone’s support and understanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race will continue as planned tomorrow, Monday, May 16, beginning with a neutral start lap through Squaw Village at 10:15 a.m. PT and heading to the finish in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:45 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Here's something that's suggestive of the the riders' role in shutting down the stage today.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the start tomorrow in Squaw Valley.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the race was being cancelled, three-time Amgen Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer addressed the crowd from the sign-in stage and said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The riders discussed as a group and we just don’t feel comfortable riding knowing what can happen, especially in light of what happened last Monday. We still have a full week of racing ahead of us, so we want to make sure everyone is healthy. With the weather conditions the way they are, racing today is just not possible. On behalf of all the riders, we apologize and appreciate everyone’s support and understanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race will continue as planned tomorrow, Monday, May 16, beginning with a neutral start lap through Squaw Village at 10:15 a.m. PT and heading to the finish in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:45 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Here's something that's suggestive of the the riders' role in shutting down the stage today. Levi Leipheimer, leader of Team RadioShack, had this to say via Twitter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>We the riders are disappointed about not racing for the fans but we all agreed it was too risky in the ever changing weather.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>Thank you to AEG and Medalist [Tour organizers] for supporting this decision. We all hope the fans understand\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:30 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Well, the rotten weather finally proved stronger than the organizers' determination to have a race today. The revised 1:15 p.m. start time came and went, rumors went whirling through the start area and Internets that many riders wanted no part of the Bicycles on Ice extravaganza that awaited them, and the stage was canceled. A commenter noted just before 1 p.m. that heavy snow was falling at the finish area at Northstar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other note about riders' motivation: The start was to have been marked by a rolling tribute to Wouter Weylandt, the racer killed last week at the Giro d'Italia. That tragedy had to have weighed heavily on many of those who would have put their bodies on the line today. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
