It’s winter, the snow is falling and nothing will do but to slap those apparatuses onto your feet and get out there! Lake Tahoe skiing calls! If you live here or area frequent visitor, you know how epic this place is for winter sports. Beyond Tahoe skiing, there’s snowboarding, cross-country, sledding, snowshoeing, tubing, sleigh rides and more. Our Lake Tahoe ski resorts welcome thousands of winter enthusiasts every year, as do the hotels, rental homes and B&Bs. It’s a winter wonderland here with an average snowfall of 125 inches at lake level and 300 to 500 inches at the Tahoe ski resorts. That’s a whole lot of the white stuff! To put it in perspective, at the highest amount, that’s almost 42 feet of snow. If you’re an avid skier, you inevitably arrive with all your own gear. But if you’re new to the sport or need an equipment upgrade, you’ll be happy to discover the Lake Tahoe ski rental businesses. They can supply most everything you need, from the correct skis or boards to match your body to clothing to keep you warm (and trendy!) on the mountain to accessories such as goggles to assure your eyes don’t get snow blindness. Since you can typically enjoy Lake Tahoe skiing from early fall to late May or early June, you have plenty of time to perfect your skills!

Ed Z'Berg Sugar Pine Point State Park is your best bet for winter camping. Also open with a larger selection of sites in the summer, the park is positioned to take advantage of both the beautiful natural setting of Lake Tahoe and the historic aspects. Within the park is access to the Hellman-Ehrmann Mansion that was built in 1903. The property is still exquisitely maintained and is an excellent representation of the wealthy side of Tahoe. Tours are offered during the summer by Sierra State Parks Foundation (sierrastateparks.org). There are various trailheads, swimming beaches and great fishing within the park as well as a Nature Center that helps visitors identify the local flora and fauna. In the winter the foundation hosts full moon snowshoe expeditions, and this is a great place for sledding and snowshoeing. Dogs are allowed on leash only. Visitors should remember to pack it in, pack it out and leave no trace. An entrance fee is charged.
