Fun flashback to 2006 and the famous slingshot lift, The Roca Jack at Portillo Chile. It goes 30mph up a 40 degree slope for about 45 seconds, comes to a jarring stop and then you peel off from the outside in (middle person holds it steady and gets off last)…it’s exhilarating. And if you’re lucky you’ll be riding next to a racer from one of the national teams, and she or he will likely peel off while the things still flying uphill! photo: Cath Howard

We don’t know if our Portillo Trip will go this August, everything depends of course on Covid-19. But all reservations will be refunded in full by us in the event Portillo cannot open, or if you decide you simply don’t want to travel. 

When communities issued shelter-in-place orders, people reasonably interpreted it literally, even though the fine print almost always said people could, and even should, go outside to exercise. And when staying home became a point of pride, some mental-health professionals said people were missing the point: Mother Earth is home too. “Our research has found that nature is not an amenity — it’s a necessity,” Marc Berman, a psychologist at the University of Chicago…”We need to take it seriously.” 

Here is a wonderful way to help! Sierra Relief Kitchen is a collaborative effort to use available resources to provide for the Truckee community during these unprecedented times. Your donation will help cover the cost of feeding those in need within the North Tahoe area. SRK is providing wholesome meals for individuals and families in need twice a week from the Truckee Station.
