“We were contacted by a few other area cross country centers to see what we could do to accommodate their pass holders, and we decided to offer them a deep discount,” says Kirt Zimmer, director of sales and marketing for Tahoe Donner.

“We’re competitors with these areas, but we also work together to promote the sport. We think it’s in the best interest of all that people get out skiing. The conditions here are actually quite good now. We hosted an international event this week with athletes from 13 countries and received a lot of positive feedback about our ability to pull it off when other regional events have been cancelled.”

On Monday, January 30, the Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center hosted the 2012 Ski-O World Cup. World class athletes from 13 counries participated in the early morning race. Over 50 club level athletes followed in a separate start. This was the first major event of the season for the center, which opened for skiing and snowshoeing on Tuesday, Janaury 24. We have a variey of events and clinics planned for the season. Come out and ski with us!

Now that the skiing is out there, we hope you’ll join us at some of our upcoming February events.
