    Tahoe Donner Hires Steve Turner As Director of Food and Beverage

    For Immediate Release Tahoe Donner Hires Steve Turner as Director of Food and Beverage Truckee, Calif. (January 11, 2021) – Tahoe Donner is pleased to announce the hiring of Steve Turner as its new Food and Beverage Director. Turner brings nearly 30 years of executive culinary experience and will oversee Tahoe Donner’s restaurant offerings with a focus on providing exceptional customer service and premier quality to members and guests. After graduating from San Diego State University, Turner entered the restaurant business with his father as co-owners and operators of three restaurants in Southern California—The Saddle Back Bar and Grill, The Lite House Café, and the Skinny Haven Restaurant. In 1993, Turner began a long career as Director of Food and Beverage at several ski resorts including Sierra-at-Tahoe, Mammoth Mountain, and most recently Vail Resorts at Heavenly Mountain Resort from 2002-2018. This past year, Turner served as Senior Director of Food and Beverage operations for Caesars Entertainment Lake Tahoe which includes Harrah’s and Harvey’s. He had the incredible opportunity to successfully open Lake Tahoe’s first celebrity restaurant, Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen in South Lake Tahoe. “When the Director of Food and Beverage position became available at Tahoe Donner, I thought, this is too good to be true,” says Turner. “To work in such a beautiful mountain community that features all my favorite passions; restaurants, skiing, golf, mountain biking, hiking, tennis and more, is a dream. I look forward to being an integrated part of this great organization and community.” Turner and his wife Lorraine are long-time Tahoe locals.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HERE’S WHAT’S NEW AT SKI CALIFORNIA RESORTS FOR WINTER 2019-20 Resorts invest millions in new chairlifts, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature experiences and much more PETALUMA, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2019) – On the heels of a strong winter season that extended the season of many resorts in California and Nevada—one into late July, Ski California and its 32 member resorts are gearing up for the 2019-20 winter season with significant investments designed to enhance the experience for skiers and riders this season and beyond. This includes a new chairlift, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature on-mountain experiences and events, ways for passionate skiers and riders to save on lift access and much more. “Ski California resorts have continued to invest year over year in facility and on-mountain improvements that enhance the skier experience,” said Michael Reitzell, Ski California president. “This season is no exception, and with the excitement that is already building thanks to early season snowfall, snowmaking firing up at some of our resorts with recent cold temperatures, and plans by at least one of our resorts to open later this month if conditions allow, winter will soon be underway in California and Nevada.” For those who want unrestricted, fully transferable access to all 32 resorts in California and Nevada, the 2019-20 Ski California Gold Pass is on sale now. This pass can be used by anyone with it in their possession and offers zero blackout dates and 50 days of access to each of the 32 ski resorts on the pass.

    DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS Win big. Lose yourself in Reno Tahoe. LIVE LIFE This is where the country’s largest alpine lake meets the Biggest Little City in the World. Here, ambition is fully inspired and quickly rewarded. Between the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America, America’s most beautiful lake*, and a river running through the heart of a city, there’s plenty of reward to go around. If you still don’t believe us, take a not-so-little trip through our 365-day event calendar, venture off the path into one of our stunning environments, or walk amongst our rumbling city streets. Wherever you go, we can promise you’ll find inspiration and forget inhibition. This is northern Nevada’s high desert playground and it’s yours for the taking—will you heed its call? *As voted by readers of USA TODAY To the wild and free. To the wild and free: You’ve come to the right place. When it comes to outdoor recreation, no place checks quite as many boxes as Reno Tahoe. Our 300 days of annual sunshine drench each of our jaw-droppingly unique landscapes. If secret alpine coves, lakefront ski slopes, and urban river floats aren’t your thing, rejoice. They’re only a fraction of what we have to offer. LIVE LIFE UNTAMED Drink up. Get down. Reno Tahoe’s bar and nightlife scene is anything but expected. Keep it low key at a quaint watering hole, grab a pint at a downtown brewery, then cap it off with a high ball at a pulse-pounding nightclub—all in one day.

  • Destination Highlights Live Like There’S 48 Hours in a Day

    DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS LIVE LIKE THERE’S 48 HOURS IN A DAY. A 24-hour day can be so limiting. In Reno Tahoe, it’s the only limit there is. It’s a place that demands you to push your boundaries. And never stay in your lane. Here, you can kayak all morning and crowd surf all night. This is where North America’s largest alpine lake meets the Biggest Little City in the World. And where there’s no shame in asking for seconds. So double down, double up and live like there’s 48 hours in a day. Northern Nevada’s High Desert Playground Even in a place with so much to offer, it’s easy to know where to start. Reno Tahoe checks every outdoor adventure box. No matter the season. Take a powder day with the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America. Hike, bike or tan alongside America’s most beautiful lake*. Or, go off the beaten path and kick up some high desert dirt in the face of the routine. To the wild and free, we say: you’ve come to the right place. *As voted by readers of USA TODAY HUNGRY? OF COURSE YOU ARE. When you invite renegades who aren’t easily satisfied to the table, you better be up to the task. Reno Tahoe delivers with a full menu of award- winning restaurants and eateries. Fuel up for the adventure ahead. Or, celebrate a day well-crushed. Grab some friends and grab a table on the river, the rooftop or wherever you damn-well please.
