California/Tahoe relocation suggestions?
Hi All,
I am vaguely considering relocating to somplace in Central or Northern California. Various other family members live in San Francisco, and other nearby areas. Those places are out of my price range (I assume) and are too crowded and too far from skiing for my tastes anyway. I've never been to Lake Tahoe or any of the areas between there and SF, but from what I've heard it sounds pretty nice. My outdoor interestes are road cycling and XC skiing, so ideally I'm looking for somplace rural or semi-rural where I can do these activities more or less any day I choose more or less right out my door. I have 3 small kids who like playing outdoors too so an urban or town setting probably wouldn't work for them either. I'm trying to narrow my search a bit so that I can have a look around this summer whan I visit my relatives. Suggestions? Thanks! Joseph |

Joseph,
Contact me directly via the Far West Nordic website and I can set you straight. Public discussions of these kinds of things never seem to work well.

JFT,
My apologies for the misunderstanding. I meant they don't work for me. You guys can all discuss as much as you want.

That's a bad place to be into X-C or any kind of skiing (with consistency). Kingsburg is Swedish. I've never been to Lake Tahoe or any of the areas between there and Erik Fair, who wrote most of the transport software we are using, is of Norwwegian ancestory and lives at Tahoe. It's a very touristy area. Truly Northern CA has little tourist skiing infrastructure and will be slow to develop it because of residual logging interests, much lower elevations, less consistent snow. You should probably best play tourist before moving. -- |

I'm trying to narrow my search a bit so that I can have a look around this summer whan I visit my relatives. Suggestions? _ I could suggest 30 or 40 towns that would work, the problem is getting a job that will support a family. Basically, anywhere along rt 49 in the Sierra foothills would meet your descriptions. If you want to ski out your back door (literally,) that means somewhere above 5-6K feet and that limits the choices (and the road biking IMHO) a lot. If you can live with 30 mins driving to ski that's quite different. There is a lot of job and housing growth along the rt 20 corridor, east and north of Auburn. _ Booker C. Bense A 30min drive to skiing would be fine. In my perfect world, I could road bike 9 months and ski for 4-5. The only thing that keeps me off the road bike is (extremely) icy surfaces, and darkness. As for jobs, I'm pretty flexible, and an outlying area might have cheaper housing? If I wanted to go deeper into the mountains than the Auburn area, do you suppose along I-80 or Rt-50? Joseph |
