Winter Recreation: For skiing and snowboarding, there is: Heavenly, (where else can you ride a gondola from the casinos). From the top, Heavenly offers some of the best views anywhere, and nearly all types of skiing and riding options. There is also Sierra-at-Tahoe, a short drive up Echo Summit. More youth-oriented, SAT offers many terrain features and great tree skiing after storms. Also on the south side of the lake is Kirkwood, about 35 miles up to Carson Pass. There is very diverse terrain, much of it above the treeline. Kirkwood is famous for deep snow and powder days. You'll find equipment rentals and sales at these resorts and at many convenient locations all around the lake. For the cross country enthusiasts, try: Spooner Lake Cross Country; Kirkwood Cross Country; Hope Valley Cross Country; and (depending on snowfall at lake level) the trails at Camp Richardson Resort. Other South Lake Tahoe recreation options include tubing, snowshoeing, ice skating and snowmobile tours.

Summer Recreation: For every sport or activity around Lake Tahoe, you'll find local businesses that can get you to the right spot with the proper gear. Boats, watercraft, kayaks and more are perhaps the best way to experience the lake, and are for rent at a number of locations around South Lake Tahoe. There are even water ski schools. Cycling, mountain biking and hiking are all virtually limitless, and are rewarded with breathtaking scenery. Climbers also have some favorite spots at the south end of the lake. Golf enthusiasts can play at several courses on the South shore, with many more just a short trip away. Sightseeing from the road is a popular, low-stress activity that usually brings visitors to EmeraldBay, if not completely around the lake! If you know where to look, there are a few lake-side grills where you can take in a nice lunch and at the same time, an incredible view. There are a variety of beautiful public beaches on the south shore, from Zephyr Cove all the way to Emerald Bay.

South Lake Tahoe Year-Round: Gaming: There are six major casinos along the short strip for nearly all genres of betting and gaming. Nightlife & Entertainment: The nightlife in South Lake Tahoe is in a league of its own, at least by ski town standards. At the casinos and along the casino corridor, you'll find most of the shows and night clubs along with numerous bars and lounges. Many feature live music nightly. For the mellow or underage, there are 2 movie theaters at the Stateline area, numerous arcades and more. Food & Drink: Great dining and cocktail options of all kinds are literally everywhere in South Lake Tahoe. From Zephyr Cove, through the casino corridor and the Heavenly Village, all the way down Hwy 50 to Meyers and up route 89 to Camp Richardson, you'll find the perfect restaurant for your party. Shopping: There are many places to shop on the South Shore, too, between the casinos, resort villages, shopping centers and the small shops up and down Lake Tahoe Boulevard.
