he ill-fated Donner Party suffered through the harsh winter of 1846-47 camped around Donner Lake and Truckee. The Donner Memorial State Park features exhibits and artifacts on the Donner Party at the Emigrant Trail Museum and the towering Pioneer Monu-ment, built to commemorate those who came to California in the mid-1800s. Why is the monument so tall? Because its base was the estimated depth of the snowpack during the winter

that the Donner Party failed in its attempt to cross the high Sierra. A new, 9,400-square-foot building to house the museum was completed in the fall, and is set to open in the spring.

The park features trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing nestled among towering pines, along historic emigrant trails on Donner Lake, as well as on Schallenberger Ridge, Donner Peak and back into Coldstream Canyon. n

t lair Tappaan Lodge is

located on Old Highway 40 near Donner Summit. Built by Sierra Club volunteers in 1934, the rustic wood lodge is an inexpensive getaway offering overnight stays in the middle of heavy, snow country. Lodging is bunk/dorm style with a deli-cious family style breakfast and dinner prepared by the staff.

The Lodge grooms 13kms of mostly intermediate terrain for striding only behind the lodge in the area between Donner Ski Ranch and Boreal Resort. Trail

passes are $10, or free if you are staying at the lodge. Snowshoe and ski rentals are available.

In addition to the trails behind the lodge, Clair Tap-paan can be a starting point for a challenging multi-day trek via the Sierra Club’s back-country huts: Peter Grubb, Benson, Bradley and Ludlow. The four rustic huts form a chain from a few miles north of Donner Summit all the way to Richardson Lake just north of the Desolation Wilderness border. n

amp Richardson has been a year-round resort locat-ed between South Lake Tahoe and Emerald Bay for more than 100 years. They provide rentals in the lodge and cabins, as well as camping, boating and an ice cream shop.

Through the resort’s Moun-tain Sports Center, guests may rent skis or snowshoes to venture out on the 10km of groomed trails, which are locat-ed on both sides of Highway 89. A portion of the trail network takes skiers and snowshoers along the shore of Lake Tahoe.

When the day skiing is complete, walk out onto the pier, enjoy the lakefront pavilion or stroll or ski along miles of sandy beach. Once you’ve built up an appetite, head to the popular waterfront restaurant, the Bea-con Bar and Grill, for fine fare and its signature drink, the Rum Runner.

Camp Richardson hosts the popular Snowshoe Cocktail Race scheduled this season for Jan. 17, Feb. 21 and March 21. There’s no entry fee, just come and enjoy this fast-paced race with cocktail in hand. n

uburn Ski Club, dating back to 1928, is located next to Boreal Ski Resort at the top of Donner Summit, where the region’s deepest and most reliable snowpack is located. It is a nonprofit, private ski area open for use by its members and for racers attending events. A pri-mary focus of Auburn Ski Club is training young athletes and it is a race venue for both local schools and adult races. It also is the home of the only year-round, Olympic-distance biathlon range in the Western United States.

Auburn Ski Club has 20kms of groomed trails with short, steep up and downs and some

longer gentle sections. Views include a thick forest and Castle Peak. Season passes and memberships are $100 per year. Membership includes five free night passes to Boreal, discounts at a number of other local cross-country ski resorts, and access to a host of training programs for both children and adults.

The citizen’s racing schedule begins with the Paco’s Fun Free-style on Jan. 4. The highlight of the race calendar this season is the 2015 Junior National Championships, bringing the best young cross-country skiers in the country to the Tahoe region from March 8 to 15.

Summer and winter biathlon programs are available at Auburn Ski Club. In addition to clinics and programs, biathlon events are scheduled at the Biathlon Range this winter with the 10th

Mountain Biathlon on Jan. 18 and the Biathlon National Championship from March 20 to 22.

In order to participate in any Biathlon event or use the range, skiers must complete a stringent certification program, which is provided by Auburn Ski Club. n

his winter, through Lake Tahoe Community College’s Community Education pro-gram, up to 7 kms of trails will be groomed for both classic and striding technique several times a week around the grounds of the South Lake Tahoe campus. The trail system opened late last

season to offer a trail system for use by everyone near the college, with about five loop trails.

Season passes are available for $29, and day passes are $5. The grooming schedule will be posted on LTCC Connect’s Facebook page. n

irkwood Cross-Country Ski Area is located near Kirk-wood Mountain Resort about 25 miles southwest of South Lake Tahoe. At nearly 8,000 feet in elevation, it regularly receives copious quantities of snow. The trails provide some of the best mountain views to be found in any cross-country area in the region. All trails have both tracks and a skating lane, and rentals for all types of equipment are avail-able. There are three trail systems to choose from, each with its own highlights and delights, and three trailside huts to enjoy.

The Caples Creek Trail Sys-tem is located behind the lodge next to the historic Kirkwood Inn (an excellent spot for an af-ter or before ski meal). Designed

to appeal to a variety of ability levels, this trail system provides interesting short loops near Caples Creek and meadow, and passes ancient Juniper trees.

The Meadow Trail System lies across Highway 88 from the lodge. It includes several nearly level loops through the Kirkwood Valley at the base of the Kirk-wood downhill resort. These trails are perfect for beginners or skate skiers looking to ski some laps.

The Schneider Trail System may be accessed either via the Agony or Ecstasy Trails, or by driving several miles from the main lodge to the trailhead above Caples Lake. It’s all uphill from the trailhead, but these trails are the highlight of the resort, pro-viding spectacular views to the south of Elephant’s Back, Round Top mountain, Caples Lake and the Kirkwood Resort. The further you climb toward Coyote Pass, the better the views get.

Kirkwood has a Kiddy Kilo-meter, a 1-km loop lined with life-sized animal cut outs and flip up signs that are designed to keep the kids moving for-ward. They also provide several kilometers of trails available for those who bring their dogs. n

ope Valley Outdoors is a sustainable, off-the-grid, solar-powered yurt offering rentals, lessons and guided tours for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or back-country skiing. They offer more than 60 miles of marked trails with 20 miles of groomed trails with no trail fee (a $10 dona-tion is recommended). Hope Valley offers rentals and lessons for cross-country, telemark, skiing and snowshoeing, as well as Moonlight Expeditions. Due to the remote location

(and lack of phone service), Hope Valley only accepts cash and checks.

Hope Valley Outdoors is located at Pickett’s Junc-tions (look for the yurt) at the intersection of Highways 88 and 89, southwest of South Lake Tahoe. Dogs are always welcome on the trails. The ski area is just a short drive from Kirkwood Mountain Resort and Grover Hot Springs State Park, and there is lodging and camping available nearby. n

h ranlibakken Ski Area

offers access to Page Meadows and other West Shore locations for cross-coun-try skiing and snowshoeing on ungroomed trails, including a portion of the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Granlibakken’s warming hut is open daily, with cross-country and snowshoe rentals available at the rental shop. There is no fee for trail access, but a ticket

is required to use the lift. The cross-country trails are ac-cessible daily, with lift access available Friday through Sunday and on holidays. After a day of sledding or skiing, check out the après food and drinks in the family friendly Cedar House Pub in the Main Lodge. The Pub is only open during the winter season. n

ituated at Squaw Meadow, the Resort at Squaw Creek offers 18km of groomed trails spread over 400 acres, just outside the back door of the resort. The resort has mostly beginner terrain through the meadows, with a few more challenging trails in the trees. The trails are groomed for

both skaters and striders. The Resort offers group

and private lessons daily with equipment rentals available at the Nordic Center Yurt. Guided snowshoe tours are offered, along with horse-drawn sleigh rides and dog sled tours. n

oyal Gorge is the largest cross-country ski resort in the United States and has been ranked No. 1 by Snow Country Magazine. The resort offers something for everyone includ-ing a tremendous variety of striding, skating, snowshoeing and telemarking opportunities, along with snowkiting and fat tire snow biking.

Royal Gorge provides more than 200km of groomed trails across 6,000 acres on six track systems. There are eight warm-ing huts, as well as the expansive Summit Station Lodge.

Trail highlights include the Snow Mountain Trail with its

views of Devil’s Peak; the trail to Point Mariah, where the 360-de-gree views include the 4,000-foot deep Royal Gorge itself; and the Razorback Trail, which follows a narrow ridge line with views of the crest of the Sierra.

The Truckee Donner Land Trust purchased Royal Gorge two years ago, and Sugar Bowl Ski Resort now manages the resort. Food service is available in the Summit Station Lodge and on weekends at the Wildy Cafe, lo-cated just above the frozen shore of Kilbourn Lake, where the Yuba Trail and Palisade Trail meet.

Recent additions at Royal Gorge include a 10km fat tire snowbiking trail (fat tire bikes are available for rent at Summit Station), as well as California’s first resort-based snowkiting school. The Sierra Snowkite Center operates in the consis-tent wind and flat conditions at the Van Norden Meadow. They provide lessons, rentals and custom snowkite trips.

Royal Gorge’s holds a number of clinics and events throughout the year. Its biggest race is the Gold, Silver and Bronze Rush set for March 15, which attracts top racers from around the country. n

r

he North Tahoe Regional Park, located off National Avenue in Tahoe Vista, offers 11km of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the park throughout the winter sea-son. The trails are maintained through the North Tahoe Pub-lic Utility District, with groom-ing based on snow conditions and demand. Generally, the trails are groomed on Fridays

and Mondays. To get the latest grooming information, visit the North Tahoe Regional Park Facebook page.

Leashed dogs are welcome on the trails. Trail maps are avail-able at the North Tahoe Event Center in Kings Beach. Parking is $5 (free for NTPUD resi-dents). Use of the trails are free, although donations are accepted to defray grooming costs. n

he Northstar Cross Country, Telemark and Snowshoe Center provides 35km of groomed trails, rentals and lessons. The lodge is located at mid-mountain, where guests will find a fireplace, full wax facilities, and a sunny patio complete with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit.

The trail system, which includ-es terrain for all ability levels, me-anders through scenic forests and provides great vistas of the Martis Valley and Lake Tahoe. The trails access wilderness, warming huts, which are stocked daily with hot chocolate and hot tea.

While the nearby downhill trails may be bustling with energy, you can find peace and quiet

on the beautifully groomed, but lightly used, Nordic trails. A favorite route is to take the rela-tively easy Tahoe trail to a view of Lake Tahoe, then return via the more challenging Timbuktu trail. Snowshoe tours are offered throughout the season, including family afternoon tours, star tours, full moon tours and twilight tours.

The cross-country trail system is accessible by the Big Springs Gondola or the Village Express lift. Those with a season pass and equipment may load the Village Express lift, while others need to purchase a pass at the Season Pass office and ride the Gondola. From the top of the Gondola, the lodge is located 150 yards to the left. n

ahoe Donner Cross-Country is Truckee’s hometown ski area. It boasts a tremendous div-ersity of trails from long glides through the Euer Valley, to a steep ascent to the summit of Hawks Peak. Guests may roll through the aspens, or enjoy the mountain views from open ridgelines.

By early 2015, the resort is set to move into a new lodge with expanded rental operations, upgraded locker room, larger wax room and improved food and beverage service. A grand opening for the new lodge is planned for mid-February. Until that time, the lodge facilities will be housed in temporary accommodations.

A trail highlight is the long ski to the Drifter Hut, where top-of-the Sierra views await (and a much needed chance to catch your breath). Another favorite is the steep ascent up Crabtree Canyon, which you arrive at after first taking the easy circle of the Euer Valley on the Last Round Up Trail. Tahoe Donner has four huts placed throughout the trail system, and the Cookhouse Cafe, located on the trail in the middle of Euer Valley, which provides food service on weekends.

Dog lovers may buy a pass to ski with their dogs on 3km of designated trails including Cup of Tea, Piece of Cake and Dogonit.

Tahoe Donner Cross Country hosts a variety of events, pro-grams and clinics throughout the season for skiers of every level. Events for this year in-clude the new Paco’s Ski Fondo, where participants may choose to tour or race the challenging 20K and 40K courses, and The Tour d’Euer, a popular event for more than 20 years, which will happen on March 29. It includes a ski throughout the Euer Valley followed by a barbecue back at the lodge. n

ahoe Cross Country offers a diverse network of trails that lead past spectacular lake views, through deep forests and along the edge of meadows. It’s a popular place among locals because of its friendly, low-key atmosphere and focus on top-notch grooming.

The ski area offers equipment rentals for all levels of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, and a variety of lessons. There are free beginner striding lessons on Thursday, free beginner skate skiing lessons on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and free

intermediate level skate ski lessons on Tuesdays. Hungry? Stop at the Free Heel Cafe for paninis, salads and soups. New events and specials are frequent-ly added to the schedule. Get on the tahoexc.org e-mail list to get the latest updates.

Favorite trails include the fun, curving downhill on the Bronze Trail, the Red Trail that winds around Antone Meadows, and the Lakeview Trail that lives up to its name. Three trails with 7.5km of skiing allow dogs Monday to Friday all day, and on weekends from 3 to 5 pm. Tahoe XC has three huts within the trail system that provide water and hot chocolate. The Yellow hut is just a short jaunt from the lodge, The Orange hut is in the center of the trail sys-tem, and the Silver Hut provides a spectacular lake view.

The Great Ski Race, the West’s largest cross-country ski race, travels from Tahoe XC to Truckee. It is set to return for the 39th time, on March 1. It’s a race that builds up an appetite, so the following week you can come back to Tahoe XC for the 14th annual Gourmet Ski Tour on March 8. n

ocated on the grounds of the Tahoe City Golf Course, the Winter Sports Park provides 4km of beginner trails groomed for skating and striding, as well as a separate loop for snow-shoers and walkers. Since the trails are groomed over grass, the park can provide excellent skiing conditions on just a few inches of snow.

Ski rentals and lessons are available. Food service is pro-vided at the Tahoe City Golf

Course lodge, where guests will also find a bar and outside fire pit. The fenced sled hill is an additional attraction, with sleds included in the $10 fee.

The park is open daily during holiday periods, and Friday through Sunday during the rest of the winter. When the lodge is closed during the midweek, the trails are still groomed, and donations are encouraged to defer costs. n

l ugar Pine Point State Park

provides more than 18km of marked cross-country trails within the park. Guests may ski on the marked Yellow and Orange Trails next to the shore of Lake Tahoe on the east side of Highway 89, or enjoy a more lengthy ski on the groomed Blue and Red trails on the west side of the highway. The red trail loop follows the course of the Nordic events at the 1960 Win-ter Olympics. Be sure and stop to read the interpretative panels

along this section of trail, which provide information on the park’s Nordic Olympic history. With a few short exceptions, the trails are mostly level and are well suited for beginning cross-country skiers or snowshoers. The groomed trail sections are groomed several times per week.

The park provides a limited number of first-come, first-served campsites during the winter months, when Rangers also offer a variety of guided snowshoe tours. n
