It’s snowing today, so here’s a cross country ski picture from a couple winters ago tahoedonnerassociation. So sad I only got to go once this year. Here’s to better fortunes and timing next season. #TahoeDonner #TahoeDonnerXC #crosscountry #crosscountryski #crosscountryskiing #xc #xcski #xcskiing #ski #skiing #snow #Tahoe #nature #Sierras #SierraNevada #TahoeLife #skidefond #California #GetOutside #PhotoOfTheDay #OutsideIsFree #Outdoors #nordic #nordicskiing #nordicbeard #nordicskiingadventure #winterwonderland...

Backcountry cross country skiing above Tahoe Donner. About a 600’ climb to open bowls and magical crust skiing through the forest. We did not see a single person in the back country #tahoedonner #tahoedonnerxc #xcskiing #truckee #backcountryxcskiing...
It was a MONTH of running & training for me. I motored through more training volume than I've probably ever strung together, and made it out to a lot of unfamiliar local spots. Now, it's time to race & hopefully adventure. Feeling fit & hungry. Let's rage. 🤘🏼...
Smoky but fun Labor Day ride with the girls, playing with filters on the pics. #tahoedonner #mountainbiking #truckee #tahoe #truckeelife #tahoedonnerxc #getoutside #cycling #mountainbikegirls...
Drifter Hut along the Donner Rim trail. These pictures were taken 5 months apart at the same spot. Both required a 1500’ climb. Just below me by the end of the lake is our current house. #donnerlake #donnerrimtrail #tahoedonnerxc #truckeelove #truckee...

We had to come back for another day of xc skiing. The powder snow is amazing, so cold, but so fluffy, I really want to jump in it #sillygirl #snowday #winterwonderland #tahoedonnerxc...

Well Cara and I thought we would turn around when we got there. We saw one person with skis hiking to the mountain. Then we saw another chick in the parking lot asking if we were going. We went and it was worth it. Gale Force winds and snow and all. #tahoedonnerxc #donnerxcountryskiing #skateskiing #skateski...

Did you know that of our 35 member resorts, there are 9 cross-country resorts part of Ski California? tahoedonnerassociation is celebrating 50 years this season, since opening the downhill ski hill in 1972 - the cross-country ski area opened in 2015.
Who else is planning on some cross-country skiing this season?...
This time of year, even more gear starts going into the pack, whether it's needed or not. Especially as long as I still try to find mountaintops on foot....

Together with my Beanie Girl, this was Day 1 on the skate skis for the season. The trails were a bit SKETCH...but it’s better than nothing!
.

We probably should have hit the trails earlier than 4:15 PM, since daylight was dismal from the start🤦🏻♀️. At least we got out and made it back unscathed👍🏼😃!

Skiing downhill by braille on skinny ski’s with numerous ruts and dirt patches, well...enough said😆🤪!
Let’s keep snow dancing!

Wood shop turned ski shop today. I’ve been using that fire hazard of an iron since I was a kid racing Nordic and waxing skis in a freezing horse stall at Tahoe Donner XC Ski Center. I think my Mom bought it for Paul and I at a thrift store in Tahoe. It’s always done the job just fine. #nordork #tahoedonnercrosscountry #tahoedonnerxc...
So great to have beautiful places to adventure and great friends to adventure with! mary.martha.morton We ran into just one dead end. And I realized that the skis don’t do great breaking trail in 2+ feet of powder 😂

When the slopes are closed because of too much snow and wind, you do the next best thing. #tahoedonner #truckeelife #feburied #sierrasnow #tahoedonnerxc tahoedonnerassociation liggitytiggity...
We are so excited to be able to make snow this winter at the Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center. In the meantime, please be aware that work is being done in the Alder Creek Adventure Center parking lot and on select base-area trails. Please stay clear of active constructive areas. Thanks!

Having grown up in Truckee most expect me to be a ripping alpine skier but I didn’t lock my heals down until I was nearing 40 years old. I grew up a couple miles from an amazing nordic ski area though! Our parents worked and didn’t have the time or money to get us into alpine skiing and we lived quite a way out of town which meant shuttling to resorts was a challenge so this is the kind of skiing my brother and I did. It felt so good to get back out on these skinny sticks today for the first time this season! Thanks to #tahoedonnerxc for teaching me to love being a nordork. fischerski...
Pippa the Dog says:
I joined my mom today down in the Valley, as in Eure Valley. I was very satisfied with this adventure. ❤️🐶
