QUIZ SCORING
- 0-7: NEWBIE: Welcome to Tahoe! We appreciate your enthusiasm; your Instagram feed is the reason resorts don’t need marketing teams anymore. People won’t likely remember you until you stick around after a big winter. Call us: we’ll help you find a home.
- 8-15 SEASONED RESIDENT: Congratulations! You’re turning into a genuine mountain dweller. We see you around a lot, but we can’t remember if we have already officially met, and now it’s just plain awkward. Call us and introduce yourself officially!
- 16-23 GENUINE LOCAL: Hats off to you! You’ve seen it all. Maybe you were even born here. You know pretty much everyone and everything. If we need something, we’re going to call you to figure it out.
- 24-31 TAHOE ROYALTY: Woah! For a moment we thought we saw a Sasquatch. Everybody knows you and it is a great honor to keep your company; you’re a legend! If you’re too jaded to stick around this town, call us. We’ll help you sell.
