WHY LAKE TAHOE
Alpine lake, pine air and four-season quiet.
Lake Tahoe is a vast alpine lake ringed by pines and peaks — cool and clear in summer, deep in snow come winter. A break for cold-water swims, mountain trails and lakeside stillness.
WHEN TO SKI · LAKE TAHOE
The mountain, and when it's at its best.
Enormous Sierra snow years, with the odd warm spell at lake level.
