Tahoe Donner Protects Open Space
Posted by Jackie Ginley on
During the many years I lived in Tahoe Donner, one of my favorite spots was the Euer Valley, a pristine stretch of the High Sierra long owned by the family that bears its name. For many years, access to the valley floor was limited to the winter months, when the Tahoe Donner homeowner's association leased it for their cross country ski operations (38 miles of beautiful - and groomed - terrain). The Euers ran cattle in the valley during the summer, and bikes or joggers were not allowed. That changed in 2011, when Tahoe Donner purchased almost 500 acres of the valley for year-round use. And a good thing is about to get even better ...

Once again, Truckee has been voted the "best ski town" in North America, beating out Whistler, Sun Valley & many others in a recent Curbed Ski competition. Truckee's proximity to Lake Tahoe and a host of awesome ski areas made it the top pick among ski.curbed fans.
Add the latest ribbon to the top awards Truckee's gotten from NatGeo, Sunset Magazine and Travel + Leisure. An article in the San Jose Mercury News says it's not just the great snow and diversity of outdoor activities that makes Truckee special, it's the smorgasbord of diverse restaurants, from fine dining to authentic ethnic cuisine, and the host of local hotel options. It's a railroad town that's retained its 19th Century charm while moving gracefully into all that the 21st…
Old news, perhaps, for those who have seen the Industrial park grow to a size that dwarfs even Reno itself. With private rail connections to the Union Pacific, industrial park businesses can get a cargo container delivered to the Port of Oakland and have it shipped via rail to their back door. For internet-based businesses, this means one-day shipping from Seattle to San Diego. Combine that with Nevada's favorable tax climate, easy access to Interstate 80 and an eager supply of workers, and you have an incredible cocktail for business success.
in one of Tahoe's excellent resort communities. There were obstacles (there always are in life), and, like anyone who strives for something extraordinary, we reached the point where it seemed like it would be easier to give up. But we could not have built that home on the mountain without first dreaming it into reality ...
