After multiple terms as CVTA president, Neal Falk is passing the torch to Erica Roselius. Many of you have probably met Erica at the events she has organized, including our recent Run the Valley 5K which enjoyed great success with over 60 participants. 

In Erica’s words, “I joined the board several years ago because I love our valley’s trails and CVTA’s mission to connect our communities to the outdoors through those trails. As CVTA president, I am excited to continue to build on our mission by creating more events and opportunities for our region’s residents to experience our many trail systems and connect with each other.”

As a fitness trainer, endurance athlete and outdoor enthusiast, Erica brings a uniquely relevant perspective to our organization’s leadership. Plus, we still have Neal’s guidance as a director at large on our board.

CVTA volunteer Erica Roselius recently appeared in a segment for Outside Lake Tahoe. She highlighted the ability to enjoy our multi-use trails right now which, unlike those in higher elevations, are mainly snow-free. Special thanks to Visit Carson Valley and Erica for making this happen. Check it out!

Haven’t seen our Fay Luther parking lot this full in a long time, yet I cross paths with just a few people and one horse. That’s all thanks to our trail crew who has continually added trails and possible loops to this trail system over the years. See MoreSee Less
