Heavenly mountain bikingNorcolinerI should start keeping track of all the times the local riders rebuild this popular trail (Jackie Chan Downhill). This is the second time the forest service has had to spend time and money removing what they call an illegal trail. Illegal trails will continue to be blazed through National forest lands due to the advances in downhill mountain bike designs.  As Downhill mountain bikes improve every year the riders are able to descend steeper and steeper terrain.  With riders able to drop almost anything put in their way, the forest service has an impossible task. The solution to me seems very simple, allow downhill mountain biking at Heavenly Ski Resort.  Lets look at all the up sides to this idea. First, instead of spending tax dollars on taking down trails that keep being rebuilt, Heavenly will collect taxes.  Heavenly is set for injuries in terms of established first aid,  the forest is far more riskier for riders to ride.  This is not to say the forest service should ban all mountain biking, but by allowing the advanced riding at Heavenly it would greatly reduce the risk on forest service land.  Heavenly has already invested in erosion control according to the TRPA’s standards.  In other words if we believe that mountain biking increases erosion, causing the lake clarity to suffer, then decreasing the riding on forest lands, and moving those riders to areas that have sedimentary pools already in place is the quickest way to help the Lake Tahoe environment.

It is my understanding that the TRPA will not allow Heavenly to offer it’s terrain to mountain biking. This restriction, is understood by all parties, and makes logical sense, but over time many other mountain communities have been able to protect their environment, and offer mountain biking.  With the growth in popularity of mountain biking,  I’ve heard countless guest’s respond in shock and unbelief when we tell them they’re not allowed on Heavenly with their bike.  One visitor assumed he could ride the lift like other resorts he had been to, but when I informed him he couldn’t, he went nuts. He had planned his trip around the idea of mountain biking at heavenly, he swore he would never return to Tahoe because from his perspective all ski resorts should be open to mountain biking, and why wouldn’t they?
So to the powers that be, please reconsider the up side to allowing Heavenly the right to offer mountian biking acess via its lift system.

DreamXtreme-CA[1]Skiers and snowboarders love to surf, but living in Tahoe has its down side… No Surf! Yeah its a big lake, and on a few very windy days per year you can surf Lake Tahoe, we even have a surf club…but seriously, the chances of having the time off, your board ready, and being in the right spot is way too impossible to count on, so off the road crew went to DreamXtreme indoor surf. We spent $15.00 for an hour of surfing joy…to my surprise, it was much easier to do than I thought it would be. Within just a few tries our whole crew was getting it, and we could see the infinite possibilities the Flowrider was capable of.

The Planners for the Lake Tahoe Nevada Stateline-to-Stateline Bikeway are asking for public input on a Feasibility Study for the project. Two public meetings will be held in July so that interested community members may review opportunities and constraints for the 30-mile bikeway along the east shore of Lake Tahoe. This bikeway will connect the south Stateline, with the north Stateline, enabling bikers and hikers to navigate between the two zones without the danger on walking or riding on highway 50 or 28.

The South Shore Meeting will be held on Thursday, July 16th from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 128 Market St Stateline, NV. The North Shore Meeting will be held on Thursday, July 23rd from 6:00-8:00 PM at The Chateau at Incline Village, 955 Fairway Blvd, Incline Village, NV. If you are looking for any additional information regarding this project or the meetings, contact Alfred Knotts, Tahoe Transportation District: (775)589-5503.

The Lake Tahoe Summer is a great time to try new things while we wait for the snow to return. So, we loaded up a car with skiers and snowboarders and headed to Sacramento. Our goal was to check out the rumors about a place called “Sky High”. Sky High Trampolines is full of tons of trampolines with angled trampolines on the ends. We paid $9.00 each for an hour of bouncing. We had a great time and learned some different tricks off the walls. I could see that a few more visits would really explode into new area of discovery. You start to see lines that you want to hit, front, back, 1/2 back drop off the wall into another diving front flip. the patterns are endless.
