Tahoe winter attractions

With 17,520 skiable acres, the majority of Tahoe winter attractions involve the snow. There are ski options for all skill levels, but don’t limit your time in the fresh powder to just skiing. The entire family will have a fantastic time bundled up in the wilderness winter wonderland that is Lake Tahoe.

Seven ski resorts are located in Tahoe. Snowcrest by Kirkwood Resort provides ski-in/ski-out access to its guests. These slope-side luxury accommodations have incredible mountain views. Spacious two-bedroom units with fireplaces help you warm up once you come indoors. Indulge even more by taking advantage of the on-site massage services. Gorgeous, snow-covered alpine trees are only topped by the view of the crystal-blue lake. Lake Tahoe is one of the clearest in North America, and since it is also the second deepest, it never fully freezes.

Tahoe winter attractions aren’t necessarily for cold-weather lovers, either. Lake Tahoe gets about 300 days of sunshine each year. A winter vacation in Tahoe will likely still have the sun shining beautifully above the lake and the forest. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe is full of picturesque scenery. Even though modern towns surround the lake, its history dates back to the Ice Ages. The natural beauty that the region contains brings travelers back season after season.

Adventure Mountain Lake Tahoe offers 40 acres of groomed sledding hills and snow-play areas. Build snowmen or get in a playful snowball fight as you mingle with other visitors. If you have your own sled or tube, feel free to bring it to Adventure Mountain. You also have the option of purchasing sledding equipment from the facility’s concession stand. Consume snacks and hot beverages in between your romps in the snow.

The versatility of Lake Tahoe is apparent from the minute that you arrive. It’s a perfect romantic getaway, or fun for the whole family. Your vacation won’t be complete without a rustic ride through the snow. Borges Sleigh Rides are the icing on the cake (or the mountain) when you come to the lake for Tahoe winter attractions.
