LAST ONE DOWN, BUYS THE FIRST ROUND
C AL E N D AR OF E V E N TS DECEMBER
Lake Tahoe is a vacation destination like no other – boasting one of the world’s largest concentrations of winter resorts.
The Lake Tahoe area is home to over 15 alpine resorts, numerous cross country centers, snowmobiling, ice skating, snowtubing, and a host of other fun wintertime activities for all ages. Lodging options abound with choices for all budgets, ski-in/ski-out, lakefront, or in town. Choose from 4-star resort hotels and exciting new resort villages, to casinos, motels, condominiums, cabins and mountain homes. Off the slopes the fun never stops with a huge variety of dining, shopping, entertainment and nightlife, including world-class casino gaming, lively nightspots and music venues, local watering holes, and a vast selection of superb restaurants, from lakefront to mountain top, to satisfy all palates. All of this activity surrounds beautiful Lake Tahoe, North America’s largest alpine lake and a natural and scenic wonder. Straddling the California/Nevada state line at just over 6,000’ above sea level, the lake’s cobalt blue waters reflect the clear blue Sierra skies on over 300 days of sunshine each year. Abundant snowfall comes from recurring storms rolling in off the Pacific, carrying southern moisture and mixing with Arctic air. The result is an average of over 33 feet (396 inches) of snowfall per year, exceptional conditions, and a glorious extended season, lasting from mid-November through late April and beyond.
