Silver Belle - Nevada's "People's Tree"

[wayoflife]

Just read a cool article in our local news about how this year's "People's Tree" is from Nevada. Specifically, it's a 53-foot red fir named, “Silver Belle” and it was "harvested on October 24 from the Carson Ranger District near Sky Tavern and the Mt. Rose ski areas." This is especially noteworthy being that it's the first time that the tree has come from our humble state.

I learned to ski at Ski Tavern. Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) lives a stone’s throw away from the old parking lot now.

Is that where he parked that snow-cat on his head?

On a real note I kinda like that guy, heroic shit trying to save someone from an out of control piece of equipment

Yes, it is. I’ve seen him driving around town a few times. He is taking a bashing in the media right now but who knows what is or isn’t true these days.

Yeah I saw something about that but didn’t pay much attention
