Tahoe XC expects to break ground in 2023 on its new base lodge, which will be relocated next to the North Tahoe High School, according to representative Sue Rae Irelan. The lodge is expected to open in 2025.
The current base lodge, located at a lower elevation that the high school, limits the resort’s ski season as trails from the base area melt faster than other trails in the network. The move next to the high school will allow for access to those higher-elevation Nordic trails, thus expanding the resort’s ski season.
The lodge will be built using the historic Pennoyer/Schilling home built in 1937 at Rubicon Bay. The home was gifted to the nonprofit ski area for use as a base area.
The new lodge will feature rentals, a cafe, lockers and community meeting areas. A capital fundraising campaign will kick off soon. | tahoexclodgeproject.com
