Community

The Kevin Murnane Scholarship is given out in Kevin’s honor each year to up to two North Tahoe High School students who demonstrate selflessness, decency, and good nature within our community. All recipients have participated in at least one of any Nordic ski program at Tahoe XC, Auburn Ski Club, Far West, or the North Tahoe Middle and High School Teams. This year’s recipients are Daniel Joslin and Bergen Koijane.

When you think of Tahoe XC, what comes to mind? Whatever experiences you’ve had, you’re right. It is your experience that makes Tahoe XC the community hub that it is. As an organization, Tahoe XC can be thought of as a ‘double major.’ What does that mean? Enjoy this read as we explain this metaphor.

There has been a network of ski trails where Tahoe XC is located since the mid-1970s, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there were some trails, or portions of trails, that were skied on in the past that no longer exist. Here are a few that my admittedly imperfect brain recalls. For confirmation I contacted long-time groomer extraordinaire Doug McNair to take a walk down memory lane.
