Please enjoy this selection of attractions and activities to enjoy the rest of winter right here in Reno-Tahoe.
Skiing/Snowboarding
Lake Tahoe is one of the largest alpine lakes in the world and is home to 15 ski resorts, each with their own unique slice of heaven in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The famous resorts dot both the Nevada and California side of the lake, offering some of the freshest powder for skiing, snowboarding, and even more snow sports. The annual snowfall in the Lake Tahoe region averages over 400 inches, making it the perfect winter playground.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is an enjoyable and low impact way to explore Tahoe’s backcountry. There are many places to snowshoe, from flat and easy to steep and challenging. Click here to discover specific regions around the lake to take your trek.
Snowmobiling
One of the best ways to make the most of your day avoiding the lift lines is to hop on a snowmobile. These vehicles can take you across the endless snowy landscape with a little shot of adrenaline. Whether a mellow cruise through the woods or climbing great heights to snag some epic views, there are multiple places around the lake to charter a snowmobile tour.
Ice Skating
Take a break from skiing, sledding, or shoeing and hit the ice rink. There are several in the area, both Reno and Tahoe, for both beginner and advanced skaters.

KC and the Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 50 years ago.
