Our Story


Tahoe’s Trusted Snow Removal Service for over 40 years

My name is Josh Forte—born and raised in South Lake Tahoe and owner of Sierra Nevada Snow Removal. My dad started the business in 1984 with a single Ford plow truck. I was helping before I could even see over the dash!

We now operate a variety of equipment to handle all of your residential snow removal needs. We have cleared snow through some of Tahoe’s biggest winters including 1993, 1998, 2011, 2017, 2021 and we are ready for whatever this winter has in store.
