    Ski With A Ranger program is a free guided tour managed by the USDA Forest Service and partnered with a local ski resort. Stephen Loane, a first year volunteer, provides a multi-stop, mostly-scripted, audio and visual, guided tour that covers the relationship between the resort and the federal land management agency, history of the region, geological and landscape identifiers, tree and wildlife knowledge, water conservation, burn scars and wildfire prevention measures, and everything in between. Ed Forman, a former lawyer from Columbus, Ohio (in gold/yellow jacket) joined Stephen for the 1 p.m. tour while Madison Goodman and Savannah Tabor, both Resource Assistants in the Engineer Department of the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU), shadowed Stephen for the day to eventually run a tour by themselves. Heavenly Ski Resort, located in South Lake Tahoe, and the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, Pacific Southwest Region, have partnered together on this program for more than 10 years. The SWAR is offered at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. mostly on Friday's but always check with both partners. Feb. 18, 2023. (USDA Forest Service photo by Paul Wade)
