2023 North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST

There is a great winter event going on just up the mountain from Reno – the North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST. The 2023 SNOWFEST takes place March 2 through March 12 at various Lake Tahoe venues, though most of the action is in and around the north shore communities of Tahoe City and Kings Beach. The mission is to support local non-profits, public programs, student organizations, and scholarships.

The North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST is a a family-friendly event with something for all ages. Come up and enjoy parades, races, parties, concerts, theater, dog and pet events, wining and dining, and more. Check out the Schedule of Events calendar on the website.

Learn to ski and snowboard during January

January is “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month.” Some ski areas around Reno / Lake Tahoe are offering deals designed to get new skiers and snowboarders on the slopes and to help veterans improve their technique. You can find a variety of discounts on lessons, lift tickets, rentals and more, giving you incentives to try a new sport.

Not every ski area officially participates in Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month, but even those that don’t have pretty good beginner packages for first-timers on the slopes. Check out “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month” for some of the available offerings.

Some people don’t really want to slide down a mountain on skis or a snowboard. Learn more about just plain fun in the snow and perhaps some sledding or tubing from “Snow Play Areas in the Lake Tahoe Region.”

Happy New Year! – say welcome to 2023
