Why Lake Tahoe?

7 reasons why Lake Tahoe is the ultimate location to spend a winter or summer season!

1. The white stuff…

The Lake Tahoe basin receives an average annual snow fall of 360 inches (over 9 meters!) of snow every year. When the moisture from the Pacific Ocean hits the Sierra Nevada Mountain range it dumps and when the skies clear get out your camera and your snorkel because you will be in for an experience like no other!

2. Sunshine all year round…

And when it is not snowing Tahoe receives stable conditions and experiences sunshine over 300 days per year on average. This is great to work on the tan but don’t forget the sunscreen as at over 6000 feet you are closer to the sun!

3. One massive lake and many mountains!

On your arrival to Lake Tahoe you are guaranteed to be blown away… and that is just the beginning! With over 15 mountain resorts there is a mind boggling amount of skiing and riding to choose from. Competitions on the USA National circuit are held for a range of disciplines such as extreme, racing, moguls and aerials demonstrating the range of terrain. No other place in the world compares!

4. Friendly people and a great vibe…

People from all over the world flock to Lake Tahoe each winter and summer season so you are guaranteed to make a great bunch of life long friends from all over the globe. Everyone is in Tahoe for a common reason… good times and lots of adventure. And you are more than likely to end up with a partner from South America or even New Zealand!

5. Travel & Adventure…

The opportunities and possibilities for travel while in the USA are huge. San Francisco is a four hour drive away and other top spots such as Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Utah, Colorado and Yosemite National Park are all very close as well!

6. Great photos to show Grandma…

Don’t take our word for it… show Grandma. This stunning location is one of the most scenic and photographed places in the world… we guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

7. Fast Times in Tahoe!

And if you like to party be sure to sample the nightlife. While the mountains and lake are pumping during the day the bars and clubs are rocking at nights! From a quiet après ski while watching the sun go down at Blue Water Bistro to all night dancing and $1 drinks at Club Vex or Blue you are guaranteed to finish your day in style. But just remember… when you awake the following day you have to do it all over again!
