Sky Tavern 99-year lease extension

Reno just gave Sky Tavern Ski Area a 99-year lease at $1 a year, securing the youth ski program's future and paving the way for upgrades. The catch for Sparks: it’s a Reno decision, so Sparks residents won’t see direct city budget or policy effects—but local families who use the area still get the regional recreation win.
