From north-eastern California, we headed towards Lake Tahoe to ski our last days at the resorts. We skied at Northstar, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Heavenly. Squaw was fun because it is an iconic ski resort, but Alpine Meadows and Heavenly were the highlight, because you could see the lake from the resorts and they had more exciting terrain. At Heavenly, we skied in California and Nevada in one day! It rained/snowed most of the week, so there was some interesting ski days in regards to weather! One day it went from warm with blue skies in the morning to snow and wind in the afternoon! We had to go back to the car to put on some warmer clothes!
Luckily there was a lot to explore in the area, which kept us busy. The Truckee River, which is fed from Lake Tahoe was raging due to spring melt and it was beautiful to walk along. We hiked along the north and south ends of the lake. We were glad to visit when we did, because we were between the winter and summer crowds, so the area was very quiet all week.
