🚨 Basin Wide Trails Analysis (BWTA) Final EA dropped today! 🚨 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. So… what’s next ? 👇
.
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 specific🤓), 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 🔗 is in our bio. It’s a long read, so cozy up and strap in! This is the future of trails in our beloved Lake Tahoe Basin. 🚀
.
Thank you 🙏 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 couldn’t be more excited to add such a diverse skillset to our already stacked quiver!
.
👉Stephen 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 🐸. 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?
.
👉Rachel Wadsworth @tahoewads comes to us with extensive Non-Profit background from every angle - you name it, she’s touched it! Rachel provides valued perspective and a voice for progression and accessible trails regardless of ability levels. We believe Rachel’s skill set and perspectives will challenge us to new levels! ✨
.
👉Ben Hart @been_jammin89 began his mountain biking pursuits here in Tahoe, ventured to Colorado for years, but our trails ultimately brought him back - in Ben’s words “Nothing compares to riding Tahoe Trails” (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.📈
.
👉Julie 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 she’s 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 Women’s Trail College and we can’t wait to see what else she does. ⛏️
.
Please join us in congratulating and welcoming all four Board Members to the team! 🎊🚀

❗️Meeks Ridge Trail❗️A small army of 6 volunteers out today working through a difficult section. ⚒️ This group went at it and moved hundreds of rocks and dozens of root balls. We are much closer to being able to make finished rideable tread through this difficult section (head high brush, steep slopes, and tons of rock!)
A great group that meshed and worked together so well! Everyone exchanged phone numbers and went swimming in Tahoe after! Truly building community today.
Huge thank you to Amber, Celeste, Brian, Aaron, Dillon and Sandor🙌
