A Commitment to Cleanliness and Community
Elie's vision for Ski Run Marina was to create a visitor-friendly environment while also serving the community. A major step in realizing this vision was the renovation of the harbor, completed in 2008-2009. This renovation significantly improved water quality, making it the cleanest it has ever been.
Following the harbor renovation, the focus shifted to the village and retail area. Each locally owned business has been carefully selected to create a synergistic environment. This ensures that visitors have access to a variety of choices and experiences they seek.

Customer Experiences
Here's what customers are saying about their experiences at Ski Run Marina and Tahoe Sports:
- Adam R.: "The entire experience from signing up for the ride till hand off was well orchestrated. The signing up process was smooth and most of it was online. The boat was clean and we were given a proper guidance of the boat operations. Extremely efficient check in process and helpful staff. They had all the boats ready for us upon arrival and explained everything we needed to do for the trip."
- Michele B.: "We reserved a 20’ boat for a half day (3 hours paid, 4th hour free). Reservations were very easy to make and are recommended. We picked a very busy time so it did take about an hour to get checked in and on the boat. Our 4 hours didn’t start until we were on the boat. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable."
- Steve M.: "Everything was top-notch. The folks doing the paperwork were efficient, informative, and worked quickly. The guys dealing with the boats were friendly and did a good job running over the boat operations."
- Anonymous: "Reserved a pontoon online, check-in was easy and took exactly how long they estimated it would. The pontoon was even nicer than I expected and everyone was super friendly."
