We’re so excited that winter here in Tahoe has been pretty amazing so far. Considering we’ve had a few quiet winters the last few years, it’s really exciting to see the town so full of life and the ski resorts, sledding hills, snowmobile rentals, snowshoe rentals and more thriving! It looks like winter could go well on into the spring months but whether it’s a snowy day or a bluebird day, there are still many ways to enjoy everything Tahoe has to offer.
