timeless. flawless. boundless.

The kudos leave us speechless.

Sure, we can go on and on about

how fabulous Lake Tahoe is, but don’t just take our word for it. In the past four seasons, Lake Tahoe has been named the number-one ski and winter destination by travel guides and trip-planning specialists like Rand McNally, Orbitz, and TripAdvisor. What’s more, a recent reader survey conducted by USA Today voted Tahoe the Best Lake in America. It’s pretty cool to play with the big dogs.

Countless pleasures. Sometimes, just when you think you’ve seen it all and nothing can catch you by surprise, you bump up against something that absolutely, positively takes

your breath away. Lake Tahoe is that kind of place.

It’s not just a single dazzler that gets to you. It’s more of an OMG-look-there-and-there-and-there kind of reaction that grabs you by the senses and doesn’t let go. For starters, Mother Nature really kicked it into high gear when she defined Lake Tahoe’s beauty. The towering, snow-crested mountains trace a majestic line between the lake and sky, emphasizing the cobalt-blue brilliance that shines below and above. No way can this be real, you think. It’s way too perfect. But then you breathe in the crisp air and feel the warm sun on your face, and you realize you’ve just landed in Neverland. You’re suddenly taken by the feeling that life is good and anything—scratch that, everything—can happen.

Lake Tahoe has been named the Number 1: Rand McNally-2010 -11 Ski Destination, Orbitz-2010 -11 Destination for early season travel bookings, Orbitz-2008-09 Winter destination, TripAdvisor-2008 U.S. travel destination

So many resorts. All in one place. At Lake Tahoe, the options are as wondrous as the landscape. We’re home to the largest concentration of ski and snowboard resorts in all of North America—a whopping total of nearly 20—so you can ski and ride every day for weeks and never hit the same run twice. Steeps and speedways. Bowls and bumps. Powder and packed. Terrain parks and pipes. These are the reasons you’ve come here.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it... You get the idea. At Lake Tahoe, you can count on an average of 500 inches of snow each season. That’s more than 41 feet. A four-story building. A heaping load of snow. In the month of March, 2012 alone—Miracle March, we like to

Our ski season starts as early as October and can stretch all the way into July, so whenever you decide to visit, you can plunge right in. To add to your skiing and riding pleasure, all of that amazing snow is balanced by about 300 days of sunshine each year. Great snow beneath you. A sparkling sun above you. That pretty much characterizes winter perfection.

But wait... there’s more. To say that Lake Tahoe is an all-inclusive winter destination barely hints at the phenomenal assortment of things to do. We have options that appeal to anyone and everyone—from singles and couples to groups and families with kids. Whether you’re a bring-on-the-challenges sports enthusiast or an I-just-wanna-have-fun dabbler, you’re sure to find something that puts a grin on your face and pure satisfaction in your heart.

call it—the snow gods dumped nine feet of white stuff in a single week. Impressive? We think so.

Try ice skating on top of the world. Cozy up in front of a blazing fire. Go sledding with your little ones. Attend the ultimate après-ski party. Experience unique shopping options. Soak up some of Lake Tahoe’s legendary sunshine on an alpine-inspired deck. When the sun goes down, Lake Tahoe’s nightlife comes up. Enjoy performances by headlining singers, musicians, comics, and dancers. Catch the spirit of an extravagant stage show. Relax in the intimate setting of a cabaret or lounge. Or simply experience the sublime beauty of your surroundings on a moonlit sleigh ride. From gaming to dining…from rousing sports to off-mountain activities…from charging up to winding down…this is where it all comes together.

Matchless variety. Alpine Meadows | Heavenly

| Kirkwood | Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe

Northstar California | Sierra-at-Tahoe | Squaw Valley TM

Take some of the most outstanding skiing and riding imaginable and multiply by seven. That’s what you’ll find at Lake Tahoe, where you can visit a uniquely different, world-class resort every day of the week. Each one has its own distinctive personality, so the concept of variety reaches new heights. You can get the big picture by experiencing them all, or choose your favorites to visit time and again. From hold-your-breath-andpray steeps to cruisin’-like-a-champ bowls…from ski schools that take your skills to the next level to special kids’ programs that combine learning and fun…Lake Tahoe is the place where you can truly have it all.

Alpine Meadows Internationally recognized for incredibly diverse terrain, incomparable snow quality, and sweeping views of Lake Tahoe, Alpine Meadows offers everything from beginner and intermediate slopes groomed to perfection to backcountry-accessed skiing and boarding for the most zealous of adventurers. In the fall of 2011, Alpine Meadows joined forces with Squaw Valley. Now, skiers and riders can experience 6000 acres, 43 lifts, and more than 270 trails—all on one lift ticket or season pass. Guests can easily travel between the two resorts via the free Squaw Alpine Express Shuttle.

Heavenly

Overlooking the sapphire-blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Mountain Resort is one of ®

the most unique snowsports destinations on the planet. A Heavenly vacation is not for the faint of heart. With a massive mountain full of off-the-grid terrain and incredible views of Lake Tahoe, it’s for those who want to go big and forge their own path. And with high-octane, nonstop nightlife, the energy extends well into the night. Here, the choices are endless. Do you ski California or Nevada? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers; 1600-foot plunges in the double-black-diamond canyons; or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? And when the sun goes down, kick off your evening with Unbuckle at Tamarack Lodge, the ski industry’s ultimate après party. Half-priced drinks, live DJs, dancers, and the Heavenly Angels—all at 9150 feet! Then take your pick of Vegas-style action, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment, and five-star dining.

Kirkwood Mountain Resort About 35 miles from South Lake Tahoe lies Kirkwood Mountain Resort. It may be remote, but in this solitary horseshoe canyon, climate and geography conspire to create one of the purest, most authentic, big-mountain ski experiences in North America. Kirkwood is the siren call for those adventure seekers who prefer their snow deep and their terrain steep. Home to the Freeride World Tour, the resort features some of the country’s most diverse and challenging inbounds terrain. From cornices to couloirs…from wide-open bowls to chutes too tight to turn a ski in…Kirkwood offers 2300 acres of mountain that will challenge skiers and riders from first chair to last. And if you’re craving prolific, majestic, magical snow, this is where you’ll find that rare blend of quantity and quality. Averaging more than 600 inches per year, it comes down lighter and drier and piles up much deeper at Kirkwood than anywhere else in the region.

Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe Only 25 minutes from Reno and 10 minutes from Tahoe’s North Shore, Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe is the closest ski resort to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, the gateway to the Sierra. This prime location makes it the ideal choice for the first and last days of a Tahoe winter vacation getaway. Mt. Rose delivers more than 1200 north- and east-facing skiable acres, with 1800 vertical feet of some of the region’s finest skiing and snowboarding. The legendary Mt. Rose Chutes are among the steepest, sweetest, and longest inbounds slopes in North America—offering 1500 vertical feet within 200 acres of beautiful, extreme terrain and challenging you with slopes ranging from 40 to 55 degrees. If you just can’t wait to experience it all, you’ll be happy to know that you can get from the parking lot to the summit in less than ten minutes—thanks to two high-speed,

ceaseless fun So…just how many hours of fun do you think you can pack into a day? At Lake Tahoe, you can easily fill 24— although we do suggest a bit of sleep so you can re-energize and gear up for more. Whether you define your good times on or off the mountain…by day or by night…by pushing hard or easing back…you’re going to be awestruck by what you’ll find.

Skiing and riding When you’re here, every bit of skiing and riding variety is yours. From corrugated expressways to air-busting terrain parks…from bone-bumping mogul fields to super-steep canyons…from pristine powder stashes to cross-country meadow trails…you get to test-drive them all, screaming, “Mine, mine, mine!”

Additional snow sports If it has the word “snow” in it, it’s a sport we offer—like snowtubing, snowbiking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and snowsurfing. And to keep from being totally predict-

Jeff Dow

able, we also toss ice skating, sledding, and dogsledding into the mix.

Special events Love to stargaze? Then you’ll be dazzled by the luminaries you might spot at one of the area’s celebrity ski races or freeskiing championship events. And if you want to mingle with the folks who call Lake Tahoe home, there’s no better place to rub elbows with the locals than at a winter carnival or ski-run torchlight parade. This season’s SnowFest, a 10-day carnival sponsored by North Lake Tahoe, is scheduled for March 1-10, 2013. If you’re new to skiing and snowboarding and want to shorten the learning curve, you’ll want to show up for the 13th Annual Learn to Ski and Board Weekend, usually held on the North Shore the second weekend in December.

Off-mountain adventures The sky’s the limit with a hot-air balloon ride offering views you can’t believe exist in real life. Want to check out the scenery from another angle? Try a paddlewheeler cruise on that incredible expanse of blue. The Lake Tahoe region also features indoor rock climbing, fabulous museums and art galleries, and some of the finest shopping imaginable. You can even play golf all winter long.

Ah-inspiring indulgences Satisfy the pleasure seeker in you with a soul-soothing soak in a hot spring. A mind-altering massage. A body-rejuvenating spa treatment. Remind yourself that you’re on vacation and can do whatever you want, whenever you want. So go ahead and slip into that steaming hot tub or take a horse-drawn sleigh ride under the stars. We totally understand.

Exotic nightlife Recognize those headlining names? Of course you do. Lake Tahoe features singers, bands, and comics who are the best of the best. Fill your nights with top-of-the-line entertainers, cabaret shows, Nevada-style revues, pulsing nightclubs, and imaginatively themed bars. Get caught up in the energy of endless casino action, featuring blackjack, poker, Pai Gow, roulette, craps, and slots.

Dining Lake Tahoe’s dining options offer up cuisine from around the world, so you can enjoy a taste of France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Japan, China and Thailand. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, a fish
