Ski Holiday to Lake Tahoe
A ski holiday to Lake Tahoe has long been recognised amongst American skiers for being one of the
most unique winter experiences available. Not only is Lake Tahoe blessed with incomparable ski
resorts, it also boasts magnificent mountains, plentiful snow and a beautiful Alpine lake (the
largest in America). A ski holiday to Lake Tahoe is a good choice largely thanks to its location
on the Californian / Nevada border, where gambling is legal. This means that the nightlife is
incredible, with plenty to do for both skiers and non-skiers. Much like its Nevada neighbour,
Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe has several extravagant casinos, vibrant nightclubs, and glamorous many
bars and restaurants.
Choose a ski holiday to Lake Tahoe and you can opt between seven spectacular ski resorts. If you
stay south of the lake, you can ski the likes of Heavenly, Sierra and Kirkwood. To the North,
your nearest ski areas will be Mount Rose, Alpine Meadows, Northstar and the legendary Squaw
Valley. However, it does not particularly matter where you stay, as you will be able to ski over
all the areas with the interchangeable ski pass. With more ski terrain than any other USA
destination, Lake Tahoe offers an astonishing amount of choice, whether it’s skiing, dining,
lodging or nightlife.
A ski holiday to Lake Tahoe is a wise choice due to its record-breaking levels of snowfall – with
up to 15 metres of snow every season. The skiing is challenging regardless of your ability, with
more than 500 runs meaning that every grade of skier is well catered for. Whatever resort you
choose to stay at, there are numerous shops, cinemas, restaurants and hotels. For night owls,
Blu at the Mont Bleu Casino and Altitude are fantastic, however there are plenty of other
nightspots which are sure to satisfy the most hard-hearted of après-skiers.
