Winter is here and the snow is falling! Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Lake Tahoe Spotlight.

Ah Yes. The winter has arrived. With this weekend in San Francisco being mixed with a little sunshine and some definite rain my wife and I decided to stay in town and enjoy San Francisco's restaurants we normally would avoid due to the long waits. This time of year is the best in the city. There's no problem parking and its a bit quieter in the morning. All of this had my wife and I dreaming of Lake Tahoe.

This weekend there was over a foot of new fresh snow reported on Donner Summit which means we are officially in winter. With most of the resorts blowing snow and an additional storm on its way now is a great time to dust off those ski's and snowboards and get ready for some world class riding.

Lake Tahoe is made up of 4 counties, Placer, El Dorado, Douglas and Washoe. Within these counties lies a wonderland of enjoyment. You have 7 world class ski resorts that receive over 400 inches of snow ever year. There's over 300 days of sunshine and 500 runs to choose from. If there's one thing that's for sure Lake Tahoe has you covered.

Since we are all ready to go and have probably searched a couple of places to stay I wanted to point out some homes that are recently on the market and well worth a look at. Who knows you may find yourself a home owner this year and inviting friends to stay at your new Lake Tahoe Chalet.

 

This little gem is well worth the investment. For only $167,000 (no that's not a typo) you can have a snowshoe home of your own!

 

 

Or you can have this unique home located in South Lake Tahoe for  $389,000. This would make an incredible vacation rental if themed correctly.

 

 

 

If your looking for something a little bit more luxurious there's no shortage of that here. Located in a private community nestled in Desolation Wilderness you have this lovely home waiting for a family to enjoy.

 

Offered at $1,475,000

 

 

 

Of course where would my blog be without an ultra luxury listing. This home is tucked above Kings Beach in North Lake Tahoe. It has commanding views and top notch details throughout.

 

Offered at $14,995,000

 

 

It sure is nice knowing that all this is only 3 hours away from the greatest city in the world!

 

Thanks for taking a look as always! Have a great week and don't forget to share! Tomorrow is San Francisco's Tuesday tour. Hope to see you out there!
