Lake Tahoe Visitor Guide
Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts
Lake Tahoe vacation rentals fill up quickly in the wintertime because Lake Tahoe has become a skiing and snowboarding Mecca. In 1856 the first documented Tahoe skier, John "Snowshoe" Thompson, crossed over what is now known as Heavenly Ski resort on his 90-mile mail route from northern Nevada to northern California. Carrying 60 pounds of mail on his journey, he soon became synonymous with the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range as he was also known for rescuing stranded travelers along his route. What John “Snowshoe” Thompson, could have never envisioned is that now that 90 mile mail route is busy with skiers and snowboarders filling the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe. These skiers and snowboarders know the best skiing in the world awaits them where the beautiful Lake Tahoe water ends and the Sierra Nevada slopes rise up.
Situated perfectly in the High Sierra, Lake Tahoe is traditionally regarded as the snowiest region on the North American continent. Because the mountain range sits serendipitously in the northern pacific storm path, Lake Tahoe consistently averages more snowfall than Colorado or Utah.
Because of the vast amount of options available for skiing, Lake Tahoe Vacation Renter has provided a brief synopsis of each resort.
