Dogs

Sure there’s plenty to do with the kids at local ski resorts—like tubing, skiing, boarding and more—but what to do when you slide off the slope? We’ve compiled a list of all-weather fun the whole family can enjoy.

OUTSIDE

Skate date:

Lace up a pair of blades and take a spin at the Resort at Squaw Creek or Truckee River Regional Park rinks, or sign up for a hockey or figure skating lesson at the
indoor South Tahoe Ice Arena.

Horse around:

Climb aboard a horse-drawn sleigh at Camp Richardson Corral or Borges Sleigh Rides near the Stateline casinos.

While Lake Tahoe itself is the Basin’s number one attraction, there is plenty else to see and do this
winter. Here are our top 10, starting on the North Shore in Incline Village and heading clockwise around the Lake,
then up to Truckee.

Lake Tahoe certainly offers plenty of activities, but come summer, the Truckee River rivals the Big Blue for fun things to do. River rafting, kayaking, inner tubing and swimming are all popular pastimes along The Lake's only outlet.

Need to drop off the dog for a few hours or few days? These options take the bored out of boarding.

Fido gives these digs two paws up.

1. Go jump in The Lake at one of the beaches that permit pooches, which include Kiva Beach on South Shore, Chimney Beach on East Shore, Carnelian Bay Beach on North Shore and Kaspian Recreation Area on West Shore.
2. Take Squaw Valley USA's cable car to High Camp and explore mountaintop trails.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime Tahoe fan, let us help you make the most of your stay. Although it’s hard to take your eyes off The Lake’s stunning scenery, a read through this issue of Lake Tahoe Traveler will provide you with a
mountain of insiders’ advice for local winter fun.

With North America’s largest concentration of
ski resorts, plenty of powder and an average of 274 sunny days a year, plus fantastic cross-country, snowshoe and sledding options to boot, the Northern Sierra makes it hard to head indoors. But when you do, great restaurants, casinos, shops
and spas await.
