One day my eldest goes up to me and says, “Mommy why have I never seen snow? I want to play in the snow!”. Trust my son to come up with weirdest, out-of-the-blue ideas. We live in an area where snow never happens. If snow did happen, I am going to be so scared for the future of the planet because that would be climate change at its worst! We would need to travel far to experience it and for now my son believes Lake Tahoe is the place to go.

Ski resorts in Lake Tahoe are very popular with people from the West Coast. You get the perfect scenery, the awesome slopes for skiing and resorts, inns and hotels that meet different needs of the family perfectly. It has places that are for advanced and beginner skiiers alike. There is plenty at Heavenly designed to keep advanced skiers happy and Kirkwood and Squaw Valley also have some spectacularly challenging skiing. The Gunbarrel on the Californian side of Heavenly for a chairlift is a tourist attraction so are the diamond blacks for which Squaw is famous.

There are also skiing lessons for the kids who are called Sprites and I am sure my kids will enjoy that one!
