“Winter, we go skiing,” says Megan Humphries, resort manager at Hyatt Vacation Club Lake Tahoe, High Sierra Lodge.

There is no question that Tahoe’s most popular winter pastime is racing down the slopes at the ski area of your choosing, including the famous Squaw Valley and Heavenly Ski Resort.

For nature lovers who don’t mind the nippy weather, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing around Lake Tahoe is a great workout. You can choose from a wide variety of trails for every skill level.

Whether you prefer hiking or biking, the local trails are practically endless.

For bike enthusiasts, there are plenty of trails to choose from. Humphries recommends Flume Trail. This trail, suitable for early-stage mountain bikers, follows the path carved out by loggers many years ago.

“The Stateline Lookout trail is good for any age [hiker] and there are [informational] signs along the way,” Humphries says. “It’s only a 1.5-mile loop, and the lookout sits on the border between Nevada and California.”

And if you like views, you’ll be excited about this new addition.

“One of the great new things that just opened is a pathway from the edge of Incline Village to Sand Harbor, rated one of the most picturesque spots [in America]. That’s what [members] are most excited about,” Humphries adds.

The trail offers visitors the opportunity to visit a point of the Lake Tahoe landscape that was previously difficult to access and offers a new perspective from the state-of-the-art bridge. You can catch views of Hidden Beach, Memorial Point, and other scenic areas.
