RECENT UPDATES:

The Tahoe XC Lodge Project has completed the sewer, water, phone, and cable access to the building site, and the site was stabilized for the winter. In total, this work prepares all parts of the site for quick progress during the 2026 building season on the drainage and paving portions of the trailhead.
