IFR
If you’re coming from Bay Area, as the calm wind runway is 29, the only approach available is really RNAV GPS-A. The 20 approach will send you into Reno, but it does has lowest MDA. The 11 approach is the right way but it has the highest MDA while the GPS-A is kind of the middle way option.
With that being said, given the mountainous and high terrain, the days I would choose to fly is most likely gonna have visual 29 anyway.
Local Knowledge
Procedures
Tahoe Airport has departure and arrival procedures for every single way you can imagine. They have a really good web page, animations and videos to explain it, give it a read before you go. They even offer free familiarization flight (BYOPlane).
Tie-town
Most of the tie-town does not have chain / rope as it froze into ice overnight. Ask the FBO office for a rope!
Red Truck Cafe
That cafe is way too delicious for a Tahoe area cafe / restaurant 😆 Naan-Dog is a must try and their Crispy Fish Taco is really good too!
