"Early November always brings a bit of teaser snow on the high peaks around Lake Tahoe. It might or might not be much, but even a few flakes are enough to light the fire of anticipation among skiers and boarders twitching to make tracks at their favorite snow-sport resorts. Opening dates depend on weather and conditions, of course, with most resorts prepared to start turning their lifts between now and mid-December."
"But you don't have to ski or ride to enjoy what ski areas have to offer. All are seeking to attract a broader audience, especially first-timers, with an array of alternate recreational options. Tubing - sliding on an inner tube down a groomed track - has gotten so popular that virtually every Tahoe-area resort has a tubing hill. Look, too, for snow-play areas, snowshoe and cross-country ski venues and lots of concerts and other forms of entertainment on mountain as well as at street level."

Most resorts prepare to start lifts between now and mid-December, weather permitting. Resorts aim to attract a broader audience with alternative recreational options such as tubing, snow-play areas, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, along with concerts and mountain- and street-level entertainment. Tubing has become widespread across Tahoe resorts. Badger Pass in Yosemite is set to reopen mid-December after a season out of service, and the 2026 Winter Olympics coincide with the season, prompting special events and watch parties around the lake.
