Organized ski racing in America started near Lake Tahoe in the 1860s when gold miners rode 15-foot boards that reached speeds near 100 miles per hour. By 1895; residents of Truckee had started the nation�s first winter carnival west of the Rocky Mountains and soon built the largest ski jump in California. Today�s Lake Tahoe; with significant annual snowfall; has become home to the largest concentration of ski resorts on the continent. Places like Mount Rose; Squaw Valley (home of the 1960 Winter Olympics); Sugar Bowl; Heavenly Valley; Homewood; Sierra-at-Tahoe; Alpine Meadows; Kirkwood; Diamond Peak; Donner Ski Ranch; Granlibakken; and Northstar-at-Tahoe have seen skiing styles; sports; and fashions churn through the decades; while now gone resorts; such as Edelweiss and White Hills Ski Resort; echo the memories of yesterday�s skiers through the pines.
