Grooming Gear for XC Trails at Sugar Pine Pt.

Dave Antonucci discovered the 45-year old trails in the late 1990s. He did research and found that they were not old logging roads, as first suspected, but the 60km of trails actually used by Olympians. After the Olympics the trails were restored to their natural conditions or, in some cases, covered over by subdivisions.

When an East Wind Blows across Tahoe: Rime

What causes east winds? A high-pressure (dense) pool of cold air settles in over the Great Basin, which is east and north of Lake Tahoe. When there is a low-pressure area over Southern California, it sucks the dry, heavy, cold air from the Great Basin down into the southland. (Air moves from high-pressure areas to lower-pressure areas.)
