The first edition of Tahoe Weekly magazine, then called "North Tahoe Week," was published on Feb. 18, 1982. The cover featured a photograph by Vance Fox of a skier cliff jumping near the horse trails in Olympic Valley.
That first edition was 12 pages and was full of information about local resorts, babysitters, events and things to do in North Tahoe and Truckee area. Lift tickets were $20 at Palisades Tahoe, and advertisers included realtors, art galleries and restaurants. The cover featured a photograph inside a hand-drawn outline of Lake Tahoe, and the only editorial feature was the tongue-in-cheek Yesteryear column that featured fictional news from the past.
The slogan of the magazine was “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News.”
