Romancing the Snow

Snowy Valentines Day in North Lake Tahoe

We know a dozen roses is romantic. But to really impress? Uncork a weekend escape with some serious champagne powder! North Lake Tahoe is experiencing record-breaking snowfall this season—over 500 inches have fallen across the Sierra.

Choose from 12 resorts, all of which have a wide range of terrain offerings. (Fun Fact: North Lake Tahoe has the largest concentration of ski resorts in North America!) With 100 ski lifts and over 575 runs to choose from, there is no shortage of mountain stoke in North Tahoe.

But it’s not just about the downhill here—there’s ice-skating, tubing, cross-country skiing, and the cool new sport of snow-biking! (Looking for romance? Check out the top 10 date ideas).
