Letter to the Editor: We can’t allow current Squaw project to go through

Local Local |

My name is Jeri Mullins and I have lived in the Tahoe area for 47 years. I rarely miss a day to marvel at the surroundings our area has to offer. We have all at one time or another rode the chair lifts on Shirley on a sunny day, walked along the bike path in Squaw and coming around the next turn and seeing the majestic mountain that Squaw has to offer. Squaw Valley is the place to be in the winter months – not many other ski areas can offer the fantastic skiing or the views of this legendary and majestic mountain.

I can hardly imagine a family living in Los Angeles or San Francisco sitting around the dining room table discussing their summer vacation, saying, “what do want to do on our vacation in Tahoe this summer. Should we hike to Shirley Canyon, should we go to Emerald Bay? The second most photographed place in the world? We could hike up to Five Lakes where the water is clear and pristine? We always enjoy a wonderful lunch on the patio at Sunnyside where the views are spectacular. Or should we go to Squaw Valley and spend our vacation at the newly built water park?

Summertime in Lake Tahoe is all about Big Blue and what the outdoors has to offer – visitors come here to spend their time enjoying what this great vacation area has to offer.

Please don’t let this project go forward in the presently proposed scale. We would all lose such a beautiful mountain, our Olympic Mountain.
