Special Projects

Community Ski/Ride Pass

Each year, the region’s ski resorts donate lift tickets to create the Community Ski/Ride Pass, a popular and transferable pass that provides two lift tickets per resort.  Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation sells 300 passes at $419 each.  Passes generally go on sale the first week of September and they sell out fast!  Contact Ed Bokinskie, Office Manager to get on the special email blast.

Thank you to our local ski resorts who generously donate to this program that is so critical in helping TTCF build philanthropy in the region:

• Alpine Meadows
• Boreal Mountain Resort
• Granlibakken
• Homewood Mountain Resort
• North Tahoe Regional Park
• Northstar-at-Tahoe
• Royal Gorge
• Squaw Valley USA
• Sugar Bowl
• Tahoe Cross Country
• Tahoe Donner (Downhill and Cross Country)

Speak Your Peace

Speak Your Peace is not a campaign to end disagreements.  Rather it is a campaign to improve communication by reminding ourselves of the basic principles of respect.  In 2009-10,  TTCF conducted a large community campaign to encourage people to use the nine tools of civility when engaged in public debate.  At that time, nearly every public body plus over 1,000 citizens signed up to practice civility using these tools.

Now each year during the week of of the birthday of Martin Luther King, we keep the spirit of Speak Your Peace alive to remind ourselves as a community of our desire to keep civility and respect in public dialog.

These tools are:

• Pay attention
• Listen
• Be inclusive
• No gossiping
• Show respect
• Be agreeable
• Apologize
• Give constructive criticism
• Take responsibility
