Skiing at Lake Tahoe in California
Susan Helene Kramer
The mountains around Lake
Tahoe are perfect for skiing, reminding me that it looks in its present day
much as when it was created during an ice age a million years ago. The lake is
in northern California along the California and Nevada border, accessible from
San Francisco and Sacramento to the west, Truckee to the north, Placerville on
RT 50 to the south, and Carson City, Nevada to the east.
Don’t forget chains for your
auto tires when driving into the mountains in winter conditions. I’ve seen
signs posted on the roads during snowy conditions that chains are required.
Other necessities to carry in
the car are several days of survival gear including food and water and warm
clothes. I store sleeping bags and water, toilet paper and first aid items in
the back of my van all the time.
Here are two ski resorts to check out at Lake Tahoe -
one at the northern end and one at the southern end:
Northstar Village California
http://www.northstarattahoe.com/
Address: 5001 Northstar Drive Truckee, CA 96161
Located at the northern end
of Lake Tahoe, The Village offers lodging, restaurants, indoor classes, yoga,
shopping and more.
Adult activities include:
downhill and cross country skiing; tubing; snowshoeing; indoor crafts; mountain
tours.
Kids’ activities include
several levels of ski instruction: The youngest group is for 3 year olds that
are potty trained called Lucky Stars; group of 4 to 6 years olds called Super
Stars; group of 7 to 12 year olds called All Stars - plus child care for
younger children ages 2 to 6. Kids’ private lessons are available.
Driving from San Francisco to
the northern point of Lake Tahoe, take I-80 East toward Reno, Nevada all the
way to Truckee, then CA-89 for Sierraville/Lake
Tahoe. It is about 200 miles from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe, and depending on
traffic and weather conditions up to 4 hours driving time.
Tahoe Heavenly
http://www.skiheavenly.com/
Address: 3860 Saddle Rd,
South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Heavenly is located at the
southern end of Lake Tahoe and on the California and Nevada side, also. Enjoy
skiing and snowboarding at this South Lake Tahoe resort. In addition to
activities for adults this family resort offers kids instruction and daycare. Lodge and restaurant services, of course.
If driving from San Francisco
to South Lake Tahoe begin on I-80 East to Sacramento, then
continue on US 50 East to South Lake Tahoe. The distance is 188 miles, and
about three and a half hours driving time depending on weather and traffic
conditions.
Plan your skiing trips well
and enjoy all the fun winter sports the slopes have to offer.
