One of the joys of living, or vacationing, at Lake Tahoe is the unlimited variety of activities available year round. Some places have great summer activities, or super winter sports etc., but at Lake Tahoe you can enjoy the best that each season has to offer. When it comes to winter, without dispute, the King of activities is skiing. When it comes to skiing, the King of ski destinations is Lake Tahoe Real Estate. Located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Lake Tahoe is famous for unsurpassed scenic beauty, abundant amounts of snow and a lot of that California and Nevada sunshine. What many people don’t realize is that Lake Tahoe is home to the largest concentration of ski resorts in North America. Lake Tahoe boasts 14 major downhill ski resorts in the surrounding area, with a few more world-class areas just a short distance south. If downhill skiing or snowboarding are not for you, try the 9 cross-country ski areas just waiting to challenge your sense of adventure. You can also abandon the resorts altogether and take you skis and or snow shoes off the beaten path and head for the solitude of the back-country. When it comes to skiing, it is hard to beat the variety and selection awaiting you.

When you are on the slopes, forget the frigid conditions that make some other ski destinations uncomfortable. Skiing at Lake Tahoe will spoil you. You will find yourself applying liberal amounts of sun lotion and working on a great tan while taking on your favorite run. Nowhere else in the world are the conditions as friendly as they are here at Lake Tahoe. Sunny, mild winters will keep you skiing all day in blissful comfort. While you work on your tan and ski down a run of your choice, you will be awe-struck by the beautiful Lake Tahoe vistas directly in front of you. It is as if you are about to ski right into the most beautiful lake in the world. 

When your day on the slopes is over, there is no reason to feel the fun is over too. At Lake Tahoe, the fun is only beginning. Forget the notion that it is time to get a quiet meal and head for bed. Several Lake Tahoe ski resorts are in the process of unveiling new visitor-friendly alpine villages. These pedestrian villages offer high quality lodging, shopping, dining and entertainment just steps away from the mind-blowing skiing. Together with the historic town of Truckee and the call of world-class casinos, offering gambling, great cuisine and big-name performers, you cannot find a better ski vacation anywhere on earth. If golf is also a passion, take a break from skiing one day and head down to Reno or Carson City for year-round golf. SKI & GOLF IN THE SAME DAY!  ONLY AT LAKE TAHOE!
