Lake Tahoe is a year-round resort town, with skiing, snowboarding, and other snow activities available through the Winter and into the Spring. The Summer and Fall seasons provide opportunities for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating.

The lake is divided by the California and Nevada state border, so lodging can be found in either state, with casinos available on the Nevada side. Otherwise, accommodations and resorts are usually associated with either North Lake Tahoe or South Lake Tahoe.

Located on the south end of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Mountain Resort rises 3,000 feet above the famous lake and spans across the California and Nevada state line. Heavenly has 4,800 acres of terrain, from wide-open cruisers to 1,000-foot chutes.

Heavenly ranks among Ski Magazine’s Top 20 Ski Resorts in North America.

The sky's are grey and getting darkier and the wind has picked up. Looks like the constipation of high pressure has ended and snow will dump. Big snows in the mountains of southern and eastern Utah, with less snow in heart of the Wasatch, but still very welcomed. 8 to 12 inches expected for Snowbird and Alta which both opened (barely) today.

Waist Deep in the Wasatch is blog about the ski season in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, home to the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Greatest Snow on Earth.

It's the last day of November and the mountains have received only a few feet of snow. Solitude and Park City are open with a few runs, and Alta opens tomorrow with a few man made snow runs. The backcountry is spotty.

Solitude, Utah opened on Friday, November 16th. They have a few man made - machine groomed runs open. More snow is forecast for the Thanksgiving weekend... and it's needed, all over the west. I remember a few years back when we had similar weather. It was warm very late into November, then right around Thanksgiving we got hammer. 100 inches in 100 hours. The pattern changed and we had storms lined up past New Years. Hopefully that change is in the air.
