Not into skiing? Here are other ways to enjoy winter in Tahoe. Snowshoeing
Snowshoes are widely available for rent at shops around the region. Lightweight and strong, they allow exploring of the largely level forests and meadows around Lake Tahoe. Poles are recommended for stability. For more secure grip when climbing or descending gentle slopes, look for versions with larger metal “claws” below the balls of your feet. Only specialized mountaineering snowshoes are appropriate for climbing or descending steeper mountain slopes. Excellent snowshoeing areas include Tahoe City Winter Sports Park, Tahoe XC, North Tahoe Regional Park, Tahoe
Meadows atop Highway 431, the Camp Richardson area and Sugar Pine Point State Park.
Snowmobiling
Go for a spin around a groomed circuit at snowmobile rental locations near Stateline or in Meyers in South Tahoe. Join tour operations at Zephyr Cove or at the summit of Highway 267, both of which travel to spectacular lake views. Snowmobile tours and rentals are offered at additional North Tahoe locations, including mini-snowmobiles at Palisades Tahoe.
