Dragon Links Arrive, Mixed Terrain Biking, Golf, New Ahi Appetizer, More from the Carson Valley Inn

Yet Another Recreation Bonanza
in the Carson Valley!
We’ve been talking to members of the Alta Alpina Cycling Club regarding some of the major bicycling events they have coming up in 2020. In the process, we found out something we didn't know: Mixed Terrain Riding has been climbing in popularity while some of the more traditional road races and specialty challenges have been waning. We also learned that this incredible local nonprofit organization has mapped and charted 16 Scenic Carson Valley Mixed Terrain Rides and the Carson Valley Inn is centrally located to the start of all of them! Many of these rides are available year-round and their popularity is certain to grow as the spring months arrive. Whether you're an individual cyclist or travel with fellow members of a cycling club, we invite you to stay at the CVI and enjoy as many of these adventures as your time and endurance can handle - ride everything from asphalt highways to remote single track! Here's a link to the summary page of the 16 rides. Clicking on any ride will bring up more details, a map and the ability to download a GPX file to go right into your bike's computer! Seems every time we turn around we're discovering a new way that visitors can and do enjoy the scenery and recreation of the beautiful Carson Valley!

Golf Season Almost Here
It’s only two months until our Spring Stag Golf Tournament on the last week in April - an event we consider our official kickoff to the golf season each year. Golf is actually played year-round in Carson Valley depending upon the weather . ... and we’ve certainly had plenty of good golf days every month since the spring of 2019! While a plethora of returning and new golf groups have booked their CVI-based trips for the 2020 season, we still have room for more!  We’ll help you plan a fantastic golf event filled with dinners, casino events, cocktail parties and golf at one or more of 12 great courses in the area. For more on our Spring Stag Golf Tournament, click here. For more on our Group Golf Packages, click here. Or, for direct assistance from our resident golf professional, contact Greg Enholm, PGA in our sales department at 775-783-6615. 

Dragon Link Arriving
A bank of Dragon Link video slots are arriving at the Carson Valley Inn this week. . . come “slay the dragon” starting this weekend!!

Ahi Tuna Poke Appetizer
The Ahi Tuna Poke appetizer in CV steak starts with ahi tuna tossed with scallions, shallots, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and soy and served on top of crispy tostadas with avocado and chipotle aioli. Marley was nice enough to present this attractive and tasty new appetizer in the picture above. We spoke with her and the other servers working the same night and they all said this is now one of our most popular appetizers. Give it a try next time you have dinner in CV Steak or when you just stop by for appetizers and drinks.  Oh, for the record, we devoured everything on the plate minutes after the picture was “snapped!”
