“By offering a new, meeting-specific contest we hope to reach industry conference planners looking for a unique, inclusive property at Lake Tahoe and of course have some fun with our Viking theme,” said Kay Williams, general manager.

Why Vikings? Granlibakken – Norwegian for “hillside sheltered by fir trees,” was founded by Scandinavian ski jumpers. The Viking trio will demonstrate the property’s desirable amenities for vacationers as well as business groups, such as scalable high speed internet, wide bandwidth (up to 20 MB), flexible meeting space, LCD projectors with plasma screens and a plethora of outdoor resort activities.
