The lowdown on Tahoe snowmobiling -- guided and alone
by Wendy Lautner, tahoe.com
There are a million things to do in Lake Tahoe, but in the winter at least half of them seem to revolve around skiing. Well, what happens when there are a few non-skiers in the family? How can you enjoy Lake Tahoe's grandeur and beauty without a ticket to the slopes?
Snowmobiling is a good option for non-skiers or for folks who are looking to give their legs a break. Chances are if you've made the investment in your own machine, you've put anywhere from $3,000 (used) to $11,000 (new and high end) into your machine and you probably already know what you're doing. More likely, you're interested in renting a snowmobile for the day or joining a tour to explore.

If you want to feel like a million bucks for a day, try skiing at Diamond Peak. Beautiful groomed slopes, consistent blue grade and nonstop lake views from almost any run make this family-friendly resort a true hidden gem. Tahoe.com joined the funky, reggae sounds of Naomi & The Courteous Rude Boys on the sunny deck Saturday, Jan. 19. We were out there doing our usual thing -- handing out Sierra Summit sun blocks, lip balms and the chance to win two free tickets to Diamond Peak!
