Prime Tahoe Time

Play in the Snow

It’s a fact: awe experiences on Lake Tahoe’s South Shore leave you happier, less stressed and more connected to the world around you. (We have the research that proves it.) Those first tracks down the frosted slopes, family snow tube races and gondola rides with jaw-dropping lake views: all good for you, mind, body and soul. Sharing awe even boosts social connection by 28% according to research by Dr. Paul Piff, Social Psychologist. Seek these awe experiences and have a one-of-a-kind adventure this winter.
