This Friday, Sierra Nevada Alliance will sponsor the South Lake Tahoe premiere of a new documentary film called Resorting to Madness: Taking Back Our Mountain Communities.
This film addresses the impacts of the modern ski resort industry on mountain communities and environments. Including footage and interviews from dozens of ski areas, experts and concerned community members throughout North America, the film reveals some disturbing trends affecting mountain resort towns and offers up suggestions to protect and maintain mountain environments and communities.
Following the film will be a brief discussion about the future development plans of Heavenly Ski Resort, what the alternatives are and what the community can do to get involved. One of the filmmakers will be present to answer questions about the film.

Their Fate is in Our Hands
Together we really can save the North Bowl Trees - you can help make it happen in just 30 seconds. Here's how:
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) will decide the fate of the North Bowl Trees on February 28, 2007. TRPA's job is to protect the lake and the remaining old-growth trees in our area. TRPA has the power to make Heavenly build the angled lift, if enough people speak out. TRPA needs to hear from us - it's in our hands.
Here are some quick and easy things you can do to save North Bowl Trees:
1. Send an email to TRPA right now. In your email, tell TRPA you support Alternative 4A to protect the North Bowl trees. Send your email to jmcnamara@trpa.org
2. Email your friends. Send your friends a link to this blog, and encourage them to write an email too.
3. Write a letter or fill out a postcard. Handwritten letters are great, or fill out one of the Get Kinky postcards available around town. Address your letter to the TRPA Governing Board and send it to PO Box 5310, Stateline, NV 89449. But be sure to send it soon - TRPA will make their decision on Feb. 28!
4. Attend the hearing. The TRPA will make their decision at a public meeting on Wednesday, February 28th. Meeting starts at 10 am at the TRPA offices, 128 Market Street, Stateline NV.
