Cross country Skiing
When confronted with some of the finest downhill skiing in the world, it's easy to forget the excitement and exhilaration of cross-country skiing that's available in Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe has
incredible
trails, great prices on passes, and access to plenty of equipment if you don't own everything you need. Best of all, several trails are close to some of the region's resorts, making them easily accessible.
A variety of
trails are available
for beginners and pros alike. Many trails intersect, too, which is great for groups who are of differing skill levels. You can easily split up for a time and get back together at another point along the map. This lets you enjoy the terrain together at a pace that's right for everyone.
Cross country skiing is one of the best ways to see Lake Tahoe without needing to be in a car. Trails are long and scenic, and give visitors a number of terrific vantage points to see the lake and the surrounding mountains. The
trails themselves are well kept, and offer a breathtaking trip across the landscape.
Don't be afraid if you've never been cross country skiing before and are nervous: there are guides available who take visitors along the trails to help them learn. You'll learn from some of the best in the field, and you'll have the chance to be given a tour of Lake Tahoe from someone who knows it and can point out memorable landmarks.
