Blue skies, warm days, and cool nights offer year-round outdoor recreation. Lake Tahoe is known for its outstanding ski conditions. The terrain ranges from gentle bowls to hair-raising chutes with some of the longest vertical drops in the country. If the serenity of nature is the goal, there are several cross-country ski resorts set in millions of acres of national forest. Tahoe is the perfect place for the expert or the novice.
Most resorts offer discounted beginner's packages which include lift ticket, ski rental, and lesson.
For those who prefer not to ski, there still is plenty of outdoor entertainment. Ride the chair lift for a photo opportunity. Rent a snowmobile. Take a romantic sleigh ride. Try on pair of ice skates.
