We went out with a bang on the last public trail day of the year for Meeks Ridge Trail on Sat! We had 15 volunteers, enjoying amazing fall weather on the west shore. This motivated group made big progress through a steep, brushy rocky section of trail (with great views of the lake).
Really steep and challenging terrain! This will set us up nicely for an expected finish in 2025.
John from @olympicbike delivered sandwiches from Tahoe House Bakery, Thank you Olympic for your support! The lunch delivery was great. We stopped work and pulled everyone into the shade. Lots of new friends and new community connections were made.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to build trail and community. It`s a great time to be a mountain biker!

π¨ Basin Wide Trails Analysis (BWTA) Final EA dropped today! π¨ It has been a year since the public submitted comments on the 2023 BWTA Draft EA and, after hundreds of USFS hours in reviewing 660 separate public comment letters, the next iteration of project document has arrived incorporating enhancements,updates, and clarifications to the Draft EA. While we are thrilled with this monumental milestone, there are still a few more steps before the actions in this document are implemented on our trails in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Soβ¦ whatβs next ? π
.
The TAMBA team has kicked into action, diving into the document to understand the implications of this latest iteration. Give us a bit of time, it is 224 pages long (to be quite specificπ€), but nothing excites us more than nerding out on trails and trail maps at that! We aim to bring our valued members and partners distilled information over the next month, so hold tight while we pour over our copies. We will be back to you soon.
.
What Can I Do? Check out the document yourself! Link π is in our bio. Itβs a long read, so cozy up and strap in! This is the future of trails in our beloved Lake Tahoe Basin. π
.
Thank you π to our partners at the USFS and those passionate trail stewards that have laid the groundwork to bring us to this point. We recognize your massive efforts over the years and are honored to continue to carry the torch. Stay tuned friends !

Last night TAMBA welcomed four new Volunteer Board Members to the team, bringing us from a team of six to a team of 10! The expansion of our Board brings new perspectives and support in our ever growing list of initiatives. We are still very much a hybrid of a Working & Governing Board, in other words, our Board of Directors play a critical role in our success as a Trails organization. We couldnβt be more excited to add such a diverse skillset to our already stacked quiver!
.
πStephen Larson @superstokedsteve is an accomplished athlete and experienced trail builder coming to us with a passion for community, volunteer engagement, and our marquee trails - most specifically Toads πΈ. Stoked to work with Stephen to break down barriers and continue to build upon on our Volunteer Crew Lead and maintenance programs for existing trails. Have we mentioned he shreds?
.
πRachel Wadsworth @tahoewads comes to us with extensive Non-Profit background from every angle - you name it, sheβs touched it! Rachel provides valued perspective and a voice for progression and accessible trails regardless of ability levels. We believe Rachelβs skill set and perspectives will challenge us to new levels! β¨
.
πBen Hart @been_jammin89 began his mountain biking pursuits here in Tahoe, ventured to Colorado for years, but our trails ultimately brought him back - in Benβs words βNothing compares to riding Tahoe Trailsβ (put that on a shirt will you!?). With a strong financial background and non-profit experience we look forward to continuing to elevate the way we discuss funding and financial forecasting with Ben on board.π
.
πJulie Vargo @parhelia0 is a powerhouse of a trail builder with years of professional experience and an extreme passion for rock work. Give her a rock bar and sheβs happy for the day! Julie also has extensive experience in CalTopo and is excited about helping TAMBA optimize our use of this extremely powerful tool. Julie has already jumped in to support our Womenβs Trail College and we canβt wait to see what else she does. βοΈ
.
Please join us in congratulating and welcoming all four Board Members to the team! ππ
