the strawberry lodge and its pool are located in south lake tahoe. its been a go off and on for longer than i know. what i do know is they have an annual contest there that seems to generate alot of good skating. the shallow is wide open, the pool coping is well kept, just have to pay to skate. the deal when i went (7.03), you had to buy a membership for $20, then $5 everytime to skate. needless to say, i cant tell you what it was like to skate.
