1977–2027: 50 YEARS OF FUN

Some Things Never Change.

The gear has changed. The hairstyles have definitely changed. But the people and the FUN have always been what make Tahoe Dave’s special.

From the original crew working alongside founder Dave Wilderotter to today’s teams across six shops, Tahoe Dave’s has always been built by people who love the mountains, enjoy working together, and take pride in helping others have a great time.

We’ve spent nearly five decades creating mountain memories with our customers and our coworkers. As we head into our 50th anniversary in 2027, we’re excited for the next generation of Tahoe Dave’s crew members to become part of that story.

Come make some memories with us.
