Moonshine Ink was born from a simple dream – to create a genuine community- based newspaper in Truckee/North Tahoe. This means keeping people informed on the issues and assets of the community, while reflecting the passion and spunk. It means employing locals, buying local, and staying local. And it means a place where people can advertise, confident that they are spending their money wisely.  

 The North Lake Tahoe Resort Association is the presenting sponsor of the Big Blue Adventure Series and is the primary host of the Tahoe Big Blue. The purpose of NLTRA is to promote, enhance, reinvigorate, coordinate and direct tourism for the economic betterment of the North Lake Tahoe Region.

NEW VILLAGE AT NORTHSTAR
This season, the journey to create one of the finest mountain villages in North America will come to fruition with the launch of a pedestrian friendly village featuring 100 luxury condominiums, a variety of shopping options from stylish boutiques, art galleries and specialty retailers to a collection of cafes and restaurants all centered around a year-round ice skating rink. The Village will bring a revitalized energy to the resort with live music, special events, holiday festivities and a collection of fire pits, ideal for sipping hot chocolate and roasting s’mores or trading ski stories. New amenities will enhance the overall guest experience including a new skier service facility located at the heart of the Village, a concierge service, complimentary on-site shuttles and valet parking.

Because you need your eyes!


"Zeal" is Greek in origin meaning an extreme passion in the pursuit of what you do.

As designers, athletes and entrepreneurs, we are dedicated to creating a high quality, innovative product that is superior in design and performance. Our patented, exclusive frame designs and ZB-13 POLARIZED lens provide maximum versatility in all conditions. Our collections feature styles to fit all kinds of shapes and sizes of faces, for women and men.

All eyewear is not created equally, there are definite and measureable differences. Zeal embodies the four most important factors in choosing eyewear.

Performance Designs that feel and perform great
Highest quality materials that enhance and protect vision
Lifestyle Look that is modern and progressive
Value Zeal offers an incredible product at a price everyone can be happy about
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse - most of our glasses are made with recycled materials and our recycled hard protective case comes with every sunglass. This year we will be running a pilot program to recycle your sunglasses and get into a beautiful new pair of Zeals. We even have a goggle strap made from recycled inner tubes. Using less and giving back more at Zeal.

Try Zeal on and SEE the difference!

Enjoy your Zeal!
