Lake Tahoe Backcountry
Headed on a Tahoe backcountry skiing mission? You've come to the right place. Our short guide here clues you in on some local favorite spots to skin up and ski down, while our full selection of backcountry skiing gear can fully set you up for the trip. Backcountry skiing Tahoe is like no other place thanks to that famous, massive alpine lake that you can catch unbelivable glimpses of from the top of virtually every snow-capped peak here. Check out this video, shot on 12/15/09 at Jake's Peak near Emerald Bay, to see the view and then our turns through perfectly spaced trees.
