Travelin’ to Tahoe

January 6, 2009

Most people head out for sunnier locales during the freezing holiday months of December and January. That’s what I’ve been doing for a few years. Lazing on the beach, no need for scarves, playing a game of beach volleyball… sounds nice, doesn’t it? Well, this year I decided to do something else… I decided to hit up a real winter wonderland.

Lake Tahoe, which straddles Nevada and California, right in that angle where the two states meet, is a lovely place to go… in the summer or the winter. In the summer, there’s boating and lovely dockside restaurants. In the winter, the whole lakefront is blanketed in lush, quiet snow.

The first thing I had to do, of course, was hit the slopes. The best thing is riding up one of the surrounding mountains on a ski lift and watch the lake open up behind me, cold and blue. Racing down the mountain toward it is even better.

The coolest thing about my visit to Lake Tahoe was the Olympic Village at Squaw Valley. The Winter Olympics were held here, and ever since then, Squaw Valley has been a center for serious skiiers and winter vacationers.

At the very top of a steep, treacherous gondola ride, is the Olympic Summit, where they have an ice skating rink perched in the clouds! Gliding around on that ice, I almost felt like I was flying among the snow-capped mountains.

After my adventures in the volcano, I have to tell you, I needed a little cooling off!
