Has anybody ever told you that you look really good in blue? Like deep dark blue … North Lake Tahoe blue, to be exact! This winter try something new by heading north to big blue: North Lake Tahoe is home to 11 ski resorts and one amazing High Sierra lake. Ski and snowplay adventures are everywhere here, and North Lake Tahoe is also the place to unwind and unplug! Get into the groove at one of the upcoming winter events, including family-friendly Snowfest (February 27–March 8): days and nights packed with parades, parties, concerts, and activities all over North Lake Tahoe. Save the Date for the best bluegrass fest in the west: Winter Wondergrass (March 20–22) at Squaw Valley has a stacked lineup, including headliner Trampled by Turtles. If saving money is a New Year’s resolution, check out smart ski packages, like the Nordic 12-pack, Throwback Thursday at Tahoe Donner ($13 children's lift tickets and $23 adult lift tickets!), and the Tahoe Super 4. This winter, try something blue: North Lake Tahoe looks good on you!
