Truckee

a town located only 7 miles from Lake Tahoe. Which would be considered the Tahoe area. Surrounded by 3-4 times as many ski areas as lake tahoe is. More tourists visit and stay in Truckee than lake tahoe. More kids switch from lake tahoe schools to Truckee schools. And to the people that say that Truckee isn't a part of Tahoe... well that's like saying Hollywood isn't a part of Los Angeles. cause hollywood is miles away from downtown L.A. idiots.
