X-Country SkiingThere is something about being outside after a snow storm in North Lake Tahoe – something about the sun catching on curtains of flakes that drift off snow-laden branches, something about the soft slither of Nordic skis packing down powder – that is more than magical. It’s inspiring. It’s breathtaking. It’s pure fun.
North Lake Tahoe is home to miles upon miles of challenging and rewarding cross-country ski trails. Find the area that best suits your needs.
Events:
The annual Great Ski Race is the biggest Nordic race west of the Mississippi and the main fund raising event for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team, a non-profit all-volunteer organization. Over 800 racers and casual skiers make the 18-mile trek beginning at the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area and ending in Truckee with dinner and a band. Join the event’s 31st Anniversary this March 7, 2010 at 9:00am. Visit www.thegreatskirace.com for more details.
Gear:
Need equipment? You can purchase or rent all of your cross-country ski gear in any of North Lake Tahoe’s cross-country rental and retail shops.
