Opening weekend at Lake Tahoe & Donner Lake – grab your beach attire, paddleboard or boat of choice and hit the lakes. There aren’t too many weekends you can ski and board on the mountains and then hit the lakes for all your water activities.

Grab your clubs – Pre-season Tahoe golf is open! Ponderosa Golf Course is a 9 hole (par 35), fun golf experience suitable for all ages and abilities with the most affordable rates in the Truckee & Tahoe region. Ponderosa is the perfect course for a quick 2 hour round of enjoyable golf.

Hit the Road - Dust off your road bike and head up old 40 to enjoy the beautiful views on Donner Summit. Or head out on 89 to enjoy the scenic route along Lake Tahoe.

Take a Hike – aim for lower elevation trails or south facing trails due to snow. Two of our favorites for this early season are Martis Valley and Donner Lake State Park

Shop till you drop – this is an amazing SALE weekend in Tahoe. Huge bargains on all winter and spring gear – from hard goods to your favorite apparel. Don’t miss it! Be sure to stop by California 89.
