I prefer TD maintains existing amenities and NOT tear down and rebuild amenities - any significant work should be done on amenities that can benefit members all year long not just summer or winter facilities. Amenities should be maintained primarily for the benefit of members not outside guests.
I would like to see the ski lodge rebuilt. It has ran its course and life expectancy and we just need to try and design something that also offers space for summer activities as well. Less bickering and more inclusion!
Please revamp trail system to identify trails using same name in winter & summer. Currently confusing using #'s & names that are not consistent during all seasons.
More summer concerts & picnics
I love the XC center, Trout Creek Gym, and the summer trails. You all do a fantastic job keeping these amenities updated and beautiful. I also love, love, love that the trails, xc center, etc are open to the public. I have no interest in being an exclusive resort community. Thanks for keeping TD family friendly & FUN!
Summer trails (esp Mtn Biking) trails improvements are a very high priority
I love the rec center, but in the summer it is way too busy/crowded to enjoy. It either should be expanded or entry should be restricted to members and guests accompanied by members. We live here full time and avoid the rev center June through August. It’s a bummer since we pay for a rec pass, but can’t enjoy it certain times of the year.
We love the trails in both the winter and summer and hope you do not try to monetize them.
Crowding in the summer at the pool and lake- especially on weekends- I would like to propose that guests not be able to enter without a member present. I know families who drive from Martis Camp and borrow a friend’s pass so they can enjoy the lake amenity. It’s so crowded we need to mitigate these extras pending analysis of impact on revenue
Expand Donner Lake beach and clubhouse to alleviate weekend crowding during summer months.
The amenities are great, but they are overcrowded. Cant use the beach or the pool in the summer because of too many short term rentals. You are turning this into a resort, and as great as the amenities are, they become useless to the members. When you go to the State Beach to avoid all the renters, something is terribly wrong.
Would love better quality food choices at all facilities for kids We stay in TD all summer and by two weeks in, we've already eaten WAY too many hot dogs and chicken strips. I enjoy eating at TD amenities, but it gets gross quickly.
The trout creek rev center was overcrowded and under staffed last Summer. Overflowing garbage cans looks like a poorly managed facility. I really felt like I didn’t want to go back if that’s the experience it was going to be.
Our amenities are outstanding. Expand the trail network summer & winter. Create awareness for existing and new users...i.e. trail courtesy and trash/waste obligation/expectation. I believe we need to do much more to keep our trails, and streets, clean of trash, the unmanaged household and animal waste is getting to be an issue. Thanks!
As a summer resident the trail system is most used by us. Limit trail use to TD residents only. TD marketing implies free trail use. Our association fees cover this amenity and outside participants should pay as well.
Keep improving Trout Creek and pools! Keep building trails for summer and winter use.
The Lodge is great as it is and is in a very nice building. If we have to have the unsightly white tent there all summer long, move it to the side of the building closer to the Fire Station. The wedding parties still get a nice view of the golf course, and the DJ's music will be less obnoxious for the golf condo owners. As TD is trying to increase tent bookings, condo owners won't be able to be in their condos on most summer Fridays and Saturdays when they would otherwise sit out on their decks. If it's a hot summer day, they have to close up all the windows just to try and dampen the noise. If the tent was being proposed next to a Board Member's home, just think!? Move the tent to the Adventure Ctr where it's placed without spoiling views and there aren't any neighbors as close. Much more parking there too. Do away with the tent and have a proper kitchen installed.
Expanded public parking on glacier and ski slope. Add summer trails above the forestry building to connect south side of the neighborhood. Backcountry ski pass for TDXC to allow parking and early morning/evening access off groomed trails. Gates or other access system to allow backcountry ski access to hawks peak and drifter face.
More summer concerts, maybe on Ski Hill area, vs the golf course!
The trails we hike in the summer with our dog are not available for snowshoeing in the winter. This limits our activities in the Tahoe Donner area so we have to go elsewhere.
improved downhill ski lodge. open summer amenities earlier than 20 June.....
Golf course was NOT well maintained last summer Lodge restaurant needs a more mountain friendly menu including some comfort food items and full breakfast menu during high seasons. Or at least offer full breakfast at pizza on the hill during high seasons
Think shouldvraise the price of visitors because we have such over crowding esp in the summer & holidays!! Should have restrictions on air b&b people!!
I’d like to see better food options at the marina. We love the food at the pool at Trout creek in summer and at Alder Creek.
I appreciate the open space, we use the trail system mostly Summer and Winter. XC skiing and mountain biking. I ride, run and ski with our dog.
Please either remove the tent at the Lodge, or move it to the adventure center. The eyesore and the noise are very disruptive to those of us who reside next door. I am unable to use my outdoor space at all on the weekends in the summer due to the volume of music. I've owned in the Golf Course Condos since 2000 and the entire tent atmosphere was not part of what I bought into.
More skiing terrain, perhaps more advanced if possible. The beach is tooo crowded in summer! No room to sit down
Increase green fees as the golf show pay for itself or make a profit. Currently it is run like a private club for just a few members who book all the tee times. Maintain the activities and spirit at the tennis club. Encourage more social activities at cross country. We enjoyed the musicians last summer.
- TD Marina way too crowded during peak summer times. Guest # should be capped - Better signage on mtn biking & hiking trails, please! - Food at Pizza on the Hill needs improvement!
Pizza on the hill pizza is not very good anymore. Food at the Lodge is inconsistent in quality. I miss the old time, more friendly neighborhood atmosphere at the cross country center, and think the huts are poorly serviced and maintained. Some of the summer trails are rutted and eroded from overuse or misuse.
There is still a problem with overcrowding in the summer at the marina and trout creek centers. I do not believe that the very small increase in amenity fees will reduce that overcrowding. The overcrowding in the existing very nice facilities that we have is very disturbing, especially as when I purchased my home in 2000 I did so with the understanding that the amenities were private.
Community summer activities at the ski lodge. Providing deli-type foods and outdoor eating for lunch and dinner.
Enhance enforcement of current regulations for the cross country groomed ski trail system: no fat tire bikes on groomed ski trails, no dogs on ski only trails, no snow shoeing on groomed ski trails. Have summer users of the cross country ski trails leave them in the fall like they found them in the spring. Summer users should be responsible for reconditioning the trails for winter use.
Shade for play area at Trout Creek slides etc get so hot almost burn skin on sunny days More umbrellas everywhere for summer
Better segregation of mtn bikes and horses; they destroy our hard built trails, not to mention the dust and the poop. 2 summers ago when there were no horses in TD was fantastic!
I love the fact that there are dog trails at the cross country center both for winter and summer activities. Well behaved dogs should be permitted on the trails and are a value added amenity to Tahoe Donner. If there were no access for dogs and their owners at Tahoe Donner, I and many of my friends would consider selling our property.
Improve summer trail signage/markers
Summer water activities (Trout Creek Pool and Marina) are over capacity on weekends and / or holidays. While nothing can be done regarding Donner Lake property size, an additional lap / rec pool would help alleviate congestion and "finding a chair". Perhaps and new pool at Alder Creek adventure center?
Examine the possibility of improving the downhill ski building to make it more functional and comfortable rather than replacing it. Also look at utilizing the lifts for mountain biking in the summer.
LOVE the summer concerts.
