I visited Lake Tahoe with my husband last winter and we both were completely satisfied. Ski slopes were simply awesome. Many tell Europe ski resorts are great, but Europe is pretty far away so one must plan vacation at least couple months prior to the trip, spend much on airplane tickets and ski resorts in California are so near. Certainly it’s better to book hotel beforehand as California becomes pretty “hot” place in winter

Wow, I love skiing so much… I usually visit Alaska and have never thought of California. I guess it was a mistake.
