Lake Tahoe from Heavenly Resort - skiing - Activity all over - panoramic
February 1st, and snow is sparse in Tahoe. We parked at the Brockway Summit Parking, but crossed the road and headed up the mountain on Spur Trail. It was warm and quiet. 

About a 2 mile hike up to the vista point, and the view was not disappointing! Gorgeous lake and the company of good friends.
Beautiful Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe, site of 1968 winter Olympic. This was taken a month ago but now the snow is all likely gone because of the driest January on record.
Spent the weekend in Truckee, but stopped in Tahoe City on the way home. 

Lake waters have receded quite significantly, but the lake is clear and beautiful.

Nestled on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, this unincorporated community boasts the only hot springs at the lake, right on the shore. Explore the area's unique "grain grinding holes" in massive talus boulders along the waterfront.

There is nothing special about the room. It was clean and well stocked, but for that price range, I would say it was underwhelming.

Such a comfortable stay. The lift is right next to the hotel which is amazing... The gym is nice and the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna amenities are a nice bonus. Love staying there for my ski trips.

Clean, nice apartment, it felt like being in a suite. Easy parking. Nice pool and hot tub. Only one thing, the club house isn’t worth it, they removed the pool table and games, not fun for the family, just tables and a tv. This club house isn’t like in the pictures and needs to be improved.
