LAKE TAHOE WINTER

Photo Essay by Larry Turner

The Blue Jewel of California--Lake Tahoe—is a white, blue and green jewel in the winter months. There are twelve alpine ski resorts in North Tahoe and three in South Tahoe. There are three cross-country ski areas in South Tahoe and six in North Tahoe, including the largest in North America: Royal Gorge (see December-January 2001 Highonadventure). It is North America’s largest alpine lake and among the deepest. The cobalt blue Lake Tahoe water is among the clearest in the United States. With an average annual snow depth of 33 feet, the Lake Tahoe Sierra Mountains are a mecca for ski, snowboard and recreation enthusiasts. One-third of Lake Tahoe lies in Nevada and the remainder in California. These photos were taken in January 2008. Direct print or photo purchase inquiries to: skiturn789@yahoo.com..
