Overview

We can show skiers and split boarder alike the bests routes of the day. If you are coming from out of town, there is a lot of research that needs to be done to make sure you are making the most of the limited time. Even if you chose one mountain to climb, you might end up on the south facing side that can get snow baked by 11:30 am on a fresh powder day or one that already crusted from the night before. Let our local guides take to the best conditions that lake has to offer that day.

What's Included

  • Private transportation
  • Local knowledge of current snow conditions
  • Please bring all necessary Backcountry Ski or Splitboard Equipment.

Activity name

Cool Lake Tahoe wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Lake Tahoe over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
