For 25 years the 65km Tahoe XC trail system has been a favorite among Nordic skiers, wandering through dense forests and open meadows, and up to spectacular panoramic views of Lake Tahoe. The day lodge at 6,550 feet is the starting point of a wonderful skiing experience. Comfortable furniture surrounds the wood burning stove, a perfect place for relaxing by the fire and enjoying an espresso from the cafe. Sandwiches, snacks and drinks are available all day.
Visitors are welcome to bring their own lunch and enjoy the dining area or the sun deck.
The Fischer Demo Center allows skiers to sample the latest in cross country ski technology and performance. Choose from skate skis, diagonal stride skis, snowshoes, and pull behind sleds that allow skiers to tow their children behind them so they can be a part of the day tour. Tahoe XC instructors, trained through the Professional Ski Instructors Association, will take you to the next level in skate skiing and diagonal stride, even downhill skills and Telemark skiing. Private lessons are also available. The trails start in open, flat meadows, perfect for getting accustomed to the sport.
