I tried this last year, but there weren't any takers. We're already off to a better season than all of last year, so I thought I'd try again. I'd be happy to coordinate a group rate at one of the cross country ski areas in the north Tahoe area if anyone is interested. My preference would be Tahoe Donner or Royal Gorge, but if more people are interested in Lake Tahoe XC, then I'll contact them. We'll also have to work out what day is best.

Here are the websites for the various places if you want to check them out:

Tahoe Donner: www.tdxc.com
Royal Gorge: www.royalgorge.com

Tahoe Donner is in Truckee. They have @100k of groomed trails. The advantage is that you finish flat or downhill.
Royal Gorge is up on Donner Summit. It's the closest one to the Bay Area. It has about a gazillion kilometers. The disadvantage is that you always finish with a slight uphill.
Lake Tahoe XC is the smallest, and I must admit I've never skied there. It's on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. I have ridden my mountain bike on the trails in the summer. You finish on the flats, which is good when you're tired.

You can ski or snowshoe at all of them and they all have rentals.
