Genoa, Nev. — A proposal to pipe 920 feet of the Henningsen Ditch due north of Glenwood Drive was denied by the Water Conveyance Advisory Committee after a two-hour hearing on Monday. The ditch crosses three properties of 47 acres accessed by Wyatt Lane. Board members and downstream users David Hussman and Charles Hone had to recuse themselves, so the vote was 3-0-2.

Business was literally booming at Heavenly on Sunday as the ski resort conducted avalanche control. People could hear the blasts all over Carson Valley. Like the smoke rising from the prescribed burn in the mountains above Genoa, it is all part of living in the shadow of the Carson Range.

Another nice winter’s day is in the forecast for today with partly sunny skies and a high near 44 degrees. The low tonight is expected to hit 21 degrees with a little bit of a breeze.
