When snow doesn't sparkle from the forest boughs, deep alpine greens fill the mountains. A sapphire-blue lake gives the destination a literal reason to be called the "Jewel of the Sierra," but the true treasure lies in the opportunity that surrounds the adventurer's paradise of Lake Tahoe. Here, skiers zip swiftly down what U.S. News & World Report ranks the second-best ski destination in the country, sharing the slopes with daring snowboarders from the world over. They become hikers as soon as the snow melts, spreading across 193 square miles of breathtaking landscape; or kayakers, sailors, and fishers in Emerald Bay. They take breaks on the many beaches, play golf on the numerous courses, and, no matter the season, gather together with friends to party hard in North and South Tahoe's high-energy nightlife, and with family in quaint, hospitable towns to plan the fun the next day may bring. Year-round and lifelong—such is the joy of Lake Tahoe. 1 2 3 4 6 5
