Embracing Vacation Adventure
Winter is a beautiful season in the Tahoe Sierra. The view of white peaks framed by snowy branches and reflected in Lake Tahoe’s surface is sure to relax your soul.
Other parts of a winter vacation might not lower your blood pressure, however, especially if you’re here on peak visitor days or during a large storm. One great option to consider are free shuttle buses to ski resorts or nearby towns. At South Tahoe lodging, get a free ride to Heavenly and Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resorts. All public transportation in North Tahoe and Truckee is free, including ski shuttles and door-to-door service. If you’re driving your own vehicle to a ski area, be aware you might be charged for parking.
Tahoe’s wild and beautiful places may appear rugged, but they need our protection. Please don’t venture into wetlands as the scars last for years. When you litter, it ends up in our streams and lakes, and bags of trash left outside are a banquet for ravens.
Respect for the natural environment seems to be a core Tahoe value. In winter, respect is also helpful when extended to the human realm: Respect for fellow drivers, for fellow skiers and riders, and respect for the front-line workers who make vacations in Tahoe possible. The mountains can be an adventure in winter, challenging at times for both visitors and residents. Yet for many of us who love this place, a little adventure here and there is part of winter’s enduring appeal.
We wish you perfect Tahoe adventures and that your time here is equal parts joyful, relaxing and rejuvenating.
