The Party comes to Plumas County!! The much anticipated 20th Annual Johnny Redstreake Snowball is back. The whole town is abuzz with the makings of what some declare “The best party all year!” On March 2nd, Nakoma Golf Resort, home of the unique architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, will welcome you into a space deemed unforgettable. Housed inside the inspirational walls, delicious food is prepared by the finest Plumas County Chefs, mouth-watering local Brew from the Brewing Lair, and Eureka Peak Brewing Company, and a rocking band named Cool Black Kettle from South Lake Tahoe. In between laughing, dancing, and feasting, live and silent auctions can be found, as well as a raffle of fabulous finds, all with a cause to raise funds for the Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl. The whole reason the party comes together is to reestablish the vitality of this unique Ski Bowl , which will in turn continue to bring life to all of Plumas County year round. The Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl will provide a place of winter recreation for everyone to enjoy, equipped with a ski lift and sledding hill. All proceeds go towards the installation of the chairlift, generously donated by Squaw Valley, and facility improvements. The Snowball is a dedicated party, celebrating the history of our mountain and the future it aspires to be. We look forward to sharing the evening with you and this one of a kind event worth talking about.!

MARCH 2ND- THE 20TH ANNUAL JOHNNY REDSTREAKE SNOWBALL 2013. Doors open at 5:30pm. Tickets are $35 each. Available at Chalet View Lodge.

Adventures in Graeagle

It was quite an amazing morning to behold . The air was crisp with freshness, the skies soared blue in all directions, and all the trees were perfectly dusted with snow. Overnight, a few inches of fresh snow fell over the landscape making it hard to resist a day of play. The hard part would be trying to decide which adventure to partake in. . . . . . .

Snowmobile out to Lake Davis or up to Smith Peak Lookout?. . . Maybe try my luck at ice fishing?. . . Cross-country ski at Plumas Eureka State Park on the freshly groomed trails?. . . Enjoy a glass of smooth red wine at Indian Peak Vineyard tasting room or maybe a delicious refreshing beer at The Brewing Lair?. . . Sled at the Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl?. . . Snowshoe around the Mill Pond or up to the Mills Peak Trail?. . . Enjoy a rejuvenation soak at the Sierra Hot Springs admiring all the natural beauty that surrounds us?

. . . . . . . .On a day like today, why settle on just one, I think I will do a little bit of everything. Here’s to another beautiful day in Graeagle!!!!!
