The program also highlighted the student-produced documentary Wolves of the Sierra by Sierra High, adding more details and a powerful perspective to the conversation about the return of the wolves.

Member Spotlight: Everline Resort & Spa Welcomes Locals

Tucked into the scenic landscape of Olympic Valley with ski-in lift access to Palisades Tahoe, Everline Resort & Spa continues to be a place where both visitors and locals can slow down, recharge, and enjoy the best of Tahoe. With its beautiful alpine setting, thoughtful amenities, and welcoming atmosphere, Everline offers more than just a getaway. It’s a year-round destination that feels both elevated and approachable.

Last month, Everline collaborated with the Truckee Chamber to bring the community together by hosting our March Networking Mixer. The evening highlighted what makes the resort special: great food, great people, and a gorgeous setting. Guests were treated to fresh-baked pizzas made with delicious sourdough crust, farm-to-table salads, great wine and drinks, and plenty of good conversation. As the sun dipped behind the mountains, attendees enjoyed sweeping views that served as the perfect backdrop for connection and community.

That accessibility is something many locals may not realize. Everline Resort & Spa is open to the public, with a variety of offerings at special prices designed specifically with the local community in mind. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, a spa day, a staycation, or a round of golf, there are meaningful ways to enjoy the property without booking a full vacation. You can view their local specials here and see more photos from the mixer on Truckee.com.
