  • Tahoe Donner Celebrates 50 Years of History and a Bright Future Ahead
    Tahoe Donner Celebrates 50 Years of History and a Bright Future Ahead Since 1971, Tahoe Donner has been a vision-rich association in North Lake Tahoe making family memories as one of the area’s most adventurous communities. Truckee, CA (Tuesday, Jan 12, 2021) - Tahoe Donner kicks off its 50th anniversary and will be celebrating this historical milestone throughout 2021. This year, Tahoe Donner will highlight some of the unique individuals whose vision helped create Tahoe Donner and explore some of the area’s historical lore and novel events that support its motto of “Where Traditions Begin.” In celebration, Tahoe Donner will offer special discounts, surprise giveaways at local amenities like Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort and Cross Country Ski Center and other celebratory offers as COVID- 19 safety restrictions allow throughout the year. A RICH HISTORY In the late sixties, former Navy pilot and professional NFL football player Jack Kirby purchased 4,020 acres from a Christmas tree farmer in Truckee, California, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. As an entrepreneur and real estate developer, Kirby saw the potential to create a family-friendly mountain community with endless recreational opportunities. After visiting the property and viewing an area badly burned by the Donner Ridge fire in 1960, Kirby believed the scorched area would be ideal for a downhill ski resort that appeals to beginners and intermediate skiers. The downhill ski resort became Tahoe Donner’s first amenity. In 1971, Tahoe Donner offered 1/3-acre lots starting at $8,000. The community was an immediate success, exceeding $20 million in homesite sales before the golf course or ski hill even opened.
