The Meadows

is located adjacent to Glenshire-Devonshire.  This is a gated neighborhood consisting of properties of 5-20 acres in size.  Like Glenshire, this area is low snow.  The topography is relatively level.  There are some great views of the Truckee River and the eastern Sierra mountains.  There are no amenities in this subdivsion but it does have a homeowner’s association that governs an architectural committee. 

Water is supplied by a combination of The Truckee Donner Public Utility District or private wells, depending on the parcel.  Some properties have sewer and some have septic, again depending on the parcel.  Power is either Sierra Pacific Power or Truckee Donner Public Utility District.

New Snow in Truckee

Here is a video I took yesterday. This is kind of an experiment since I have not done too much of it, so bear with me.

Tahoe Sierra Board of Realtors Installation at The Ritz Carlton

This year, thanks to the generosity of the Tahoe Mountain Club, we Realtors were given the opportunity to hold our annual installation dinner — holiday party at the brand new Ritz Carlton Tahoe on Friday, December 11.  When I say new, I mean we were probably their maiden voyage for this property.  The place had only opened on December 9th.

Needless to say the party was a huge success.  All of us put on the proverbial “Ritz” and dressing to the nine’s (had to get both of those in there), we dined, danced and partied the night away while it snowed and snowed outside.  Some of us took advantage of the offered reduced room rate and spent the night.  I can attest to it first hand, the service is outstanding.  All of the employees are so cordial and helpful.

Some of the notable dignitaries that were in attendance were Al Colhoun — our new board president, Matt Hanson, president elect, Sue Ruane, executive director and Bud Jones, director for life.  MC Ellen Grace kept the program ticking right along so we were able to spend a large part of the evening dancing off our dinners.

Trying to be adventurous, we decided to park our car in the Northstar Village and ride the gondola that services The Ritz exclusively.  I think you can see that the afternoon was overcast and snowy — and, I might add, a little windy.

I am sorry about the photos, I didn’t get real good ones of the inside of the Ritz.  The lighting wasn’t the best and my camera needs to be replaced.  I promise to go back and get some others when I get a new one.

Thanks so much The Ritz and Tahoe Mountain Club — what a great party, great night and welcome to Tahoe!!!

Truckee Gets Recreation Facility

What a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah winter gift Truckee is getting!  Today is the long awaited ribbon cutting on the new $18 million Truckee Donner Parks and Recreation Department’s facility, located at the corner of Highway 267 and 89 north, accessed by one of Truckee’s newest round-a-bouts this property has climbing walls, basketball courts and exercise equipment.  There are also meeting rooms and classrooms, dance studios, even an outside picnic area — all of this for local residents and visitors to enjoy.  The icing on the cake is an elevated running track.  Now we residents have options during the winter — not just treadmills.  The cost for residents to use the equipment and facility will be $20 per month or there is a drop in fee of $3 per use (if you are 62 or over, it is only $15 per month).  Sounds pretty reasonable, huh?  Even more reasonable is the fact that you can use it for free until from now until December 23, 2009

This facility boasts 40,000 square feet.  It will have the capacity to hold 1,000 people if you wanted to throw a big party this will be the place to go!!  The really surprising thing is that according to a Sierra Sun article, the project came in about $6 million under budget.  The plan is to have an aquatic center within the next 5 years.

The center has been a long time dream of long time General Manager Steve Randall who has been our go to man since 1985.  I think it should be named the Steve Randall Center for Recreation.

I think you can see by the photos that it was COLD at the ribbon cutting — but definitely worth it.  Go see it, you won’t be disappointed.
