Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s blackish blue water, with the Sherwood Lift at Alpine Meadows just a 10-minute drive via Ward Creek Road, making it easy to hit the slopes in no time. Whether you’re looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, it’s all here in Tahoe.
