SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. — There is so much more to SnowGlobe than the beat of bass heard echoing through the trees across the south shore community. It is much more than a very large group of young people turning out for a three-day outdoor electronic dance music techno concert.
It is an experience.
