Skiing in North Lake Tahoe

NORTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The resilient businesses and communities that make up the North Lake Tahoe region are prepared to welcome visitors this winter with a variety of outdoor activities that provide an opportunity to take a deep breath, spread out and reconnect with nature. New and familiar experiences have been bolstered by significant investments designed to ensure health and safety. To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep businesses open, face coverings are required, and responsible recreation and leave no trace ethics are strongly encouraged. Guests are also asked to maintain physical distance from others while at Tahoe area ski resorts, businesses, on trails, public lands and other recreational areas.

"Despite the challenges the world has faced over the past nine months, our business community, residents and visitors have quickly adapted to new protocols in support of our tourism-based economy," said Andy Chapman, president and CEO of the Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau. "The businesses in our region are incredibly resilient and have put tremendous thought and effort into ensuring they can operate safely and welcome visitors to our community. With 12 ski resorts and plenty of space to get outdoors, we are excited to welcome visitors back to enjoy the crisp, clean mountain air in North Lake Tahoe."

Despite the challenges the world has faced over the past nine months, our business community, residents and visitors have quickly adapted to new protocols in support of our tourism-based economy.

Access & Recreate in North Lake Tahoe Safely
"Know Before You Go" has become the mantra and best practice adopted by businesses large and small in North Lake Tahoe. As the region responds to ever-changing protocols required by local, state and federal health officials, patrons are encouraged to review the region's Know Before You Go guide and check directly with businesses and lodging properties before visiting to understand current procedures as they are subject to change. Many businesses, including ski areas, restaurants and other outdoor activities, are requiring advance reservations or tickets to manage visitation levels that allow for physical distancing, and are not offering the ability to purchase on-site.

With an uptick in backcountry gear sales indicating more people may venture out this year than ever before, the Know Before You Go concept also applies to backcountry exploration. Plan to take an AIARE 1 avalanche course beforehand, frequently check resources like the Sierra Avalanche Center for conditions updates, and be prepared for changing weather before heading out. First responders may not be able to locate those in backcountry areas quickly, so being prepared and remembering there's always more to learn about recreating safely in the backcountry is critical.

Leave No Trace
Whether it's food waste or a broken sled, to keep Tahoe beautiful remember to pack out what you pack in--it's the right thing to do. North Lake Tahoe has animal proof trash and recycle bins throughout the region. If one is full, find another and help keep the animals that live here wild.
