Your options for a great run are nearly endless here as North Lake Tahoe hosts the largest concentration of ski resorts in North America with 11 downhill resorts to choose from. You can opt for private or group sessions, backcountry experiences and runs for all skill levels. We put together a list for you, so you can explore all the resorts and decide which ones best fit you.

A little gentler, and no less beautiful way to enjoy North Lake Tahoe is snowshoeing or snow playing with the kids making snow angels, building snowmen or sledding. There are several snowshoe trails to explore or you can book a tour. Just grab your gear at any of our local rental shops and head out. In addition to snowshoeing, tubing parks are the perfect spot for a fun day of sledding. Tahoe Tubing at Boreal Mountain California is designed for children of all ages with nicely groomed lanes and easy-to-use moving carpet to get you to the top. Palisades Tahoe’s SnoVentures Activity Zone has tubing complete with a magic carpet as well and on certain nights you can go disco tubing which features colorful LED lights, lasers & live DJs. And these are just two of the many tubing parks worth checking out!
