I am confused by this article though would LOVE an ice skating rink in Grass Valley or to replace the one that used to exist which was Lake Olympia. Anyway, what exactly is this about? Is there one in the offing?
More details please.
Speaking of winter sports, when I lived in Anchorage, there was a school bus painted white called the Snowball, a rowdy fun affair (aside from the driver who had to behave) that shuttled folks to the ice hockey games and to the ski area. Could someone please start a van or mini-bus ski season shuttle that would drop off at Boreal, SugarB, Alpine to Squaw and circle back or give me $100,000 and I’ll do it? (I’m serious). I mean, they have these shuttles from the Bay area, why can’t we do it here? Pick up at Rood. I know a ton of people who drive by themselves to the ski areas all winter. Can’t we do better than this? We can call it the Foothills Snowball.
Count me in on this plan.
There is a FB group called Nevada County Rideshare, which should be here: if you are on FB>
