The Ski & Ride issue of Tahoe Quarterly is now on sale! I’m a little nostalgic as this was my last issue as associate editor. In addition to my usual sections—Datebook, the TQ All-Star profiles, special section write-ups—I have a lot of article bylines: I interviewed Truckee painter Sara Zimmerman for the Arts section, wrote a Home Design piece on ski tuning rooms and delved into local history in the Looking Back article about Sky Tavern, which is just up the street from me on Mt. Rose and was the second ski resort to open in the Tahoe area. Anyway, a very fun issue, and includes interviews with Julia Mancuso and training tips by Daron Rahlves, so grab a copy from stands, stop by the office or subscribe here!
Welcome!
