The Little Norway lodge is the only noticeable building from the highway. It has been painted many odd colors over the years and has a faded Norway flag sign. It closed around 1993 without notice and is now all boarded up. visitors come sledding and other recreation at the old ski resort known as Sno-Park with only a few deserted cabins and an unused skilift going up the hill. Little Norway is known today as Echo Summit.
From Sacramento,take Highway 50 east to Echo Summit on the way to Lake Tahoe.You will find a sign reading Sno-Park, you're in the general area.
Little Norway is not even a considered name anymore. It is only used as a mailing address for the posted Air Pollution Station with a zip code of '95721.'It is run by only a few employees. There is no current residents in Little Norway. Visitors come all around to Sno-Park that is across from the vacant lodge for snow sleding and tubing.
REMAINS: Little Norway Lodge (vacant), some old ski cabins and an unused skilift, and the county Air Pollution Station that is still in use.
It is sad that a place can be completely forgotten, without even a single photo to remember it by.
