Thinking about going to Lake Tahoe this winter, should I?

Question

I am from L.A. and we want to take a couple trip to the snow. Is there snow in lake tahoe during december or does it really depend on the rain? Also what is there to do besides ski and any good hotel suggestions. We are not outdoors type people so we need a nice hotel not a cabin! Thanks

Answer 1

of course you should go to tahoe! it's so beautiful there! i lived there for 12 years while my daughters were growing up. there will almost assuredly be snow in december- although you can never be sure! there are major hotel/ casinos there- harrahs, caesars, harveys, etc. they are all great to stay in. but if you're going during the holidays, make reservations now! i think the tahoe queen and the m.s. dixie run all year - they are paddle wheel boats that tour the lake- and have nice dinner cruises. there are always good live shows happening- big names in the big theaters of the casinos and good- and often free- acts in the lounges. you'll have a great time... and by the way, most of the cabins there are pretty ritzy- you might want to check them out for more privacy!
