Lake Tahoe is snow paradise! No place on earth has as many exhilarating ways to enjoy the mountains each winter. And since the snow lasts into the spring, you have plenty of time to do them all!
Lake Tahoe is ideally situated in the High Sierra, the snowiest region on the North American continent where snow is known to have fallen in every month of the year. The Sierra Nevada is directly in the path of huge Northern Pacific storms that swing in from the Gulf of Alaska, so the Lake Tahoe Basin gets routinely hammered with a ton of white gold, in a surprisingly short amount of time. In fact, the Lake Tahoe Basin gets more average annual snowfall than either Utah or Colorado!
When one of the Sierra's notorious snow storms -- known to dump up to seven feet of snow in just 24 hours -- rules out a day on the slopes, there's a full docket of quality daytime diversions to enjoy in Lake Tahoe. |
