She’ll be signing autographs and will share some of her Olympic experience with the crowd during the band’s set break. Date: Friday, June 12, 2026 Location: Ski Beach* (967 Lakeshore Blvd, Incline Village) Time: 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm (during Music at Ski Beach) * Note: Ski Beach, where this event takes place, is one of the four restricted-access beaches within Incline Village, which are for the use of IVGID Picture Pass and Recreation Punch Card holders (with beach access), and their guests. Please review the access rules & restrictions for IVGID-managed beaches here. Lila’s Local Legacy Lila grew up on the slopes of Diamond Peak Ski Resort, first learning to ski before she was two when her parents scattered Easter eggs around the bunny slope and challenged little Lila to pick them up while wearing skis. She fell in love with the sport quickly and ultimately found a supportive environment with the Diamond Peak Ski Team as her junior ski racing career took off. Lila began her professional ski racing career on the U.S. Ski Team, winning four U.S. National Championship titles along the way. After years of competing on the World Cup, Europa Cup and NorAm race circuits as an independent racer from the U.S., she switched affiliations to ski for her father’s home country of Slovenia two years ago, with the goal of qualifying for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Recent success on the Europa Cup ski racing circuit this winter led to her inclusion in the Slovenian Alpine Skiing Olympic team – a dream she has fostered from a very young age. “Hopefully, people will remember me as not only one of the best athletes to come out of our town,” Lila said, “But also how this place shaped my values, recognize how amazing of a feat that is in such a small place, and be proud that we live in an area with the resources to raise champions of all kinds.” Learn more about Lila’s journey at: Website: http://www.lilalapanja.com Instagram: @lilalapanja For more information, visit https://www.diamondpeak.com/event/lila-lapanja-meet-greet/ or call (775) 832-1177.

Restoring and protecting this species helps preserve the natural beauty and ecological balance of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline for future generations. At Baldwin Beach, Keep Tahoe Blue is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to support Tahoe Yellow Cress recovery by planting native cress in protected areas, removing invasive terrestrial weeds, and cleaning up litter along the beach. Volunteer with us to make a direct impact on one of Tahoe’s most vulnerable native plants and help restore critical beachfront habitat at Baldwin Beach. Additional dates: 6/16, 6/17, 6/18.
