Fabulous Ski Destinations Next to Lake TahoeWith so many great ski vacation destinations in the world, it is difficult to pick just one that will prove you only the best. So you need to gather your information and view the various vacation packages for your skiing holidays. But before anything else you basically have to know the names of the other extraordinary ski destinations and make your own judgment before you dig into the details.

    1. Aspen – is everybody’s favorite. The Mountain View is just spectacular, which further offers great skiers all the unlimited trails that drive them in their chases. The après scene is glamorous to look at during both day and night. You will really get yourself overwhelmed even with just a time spent at the Wheeler Opera House or take fine dining in its elegant restaurants.
    2. Telluride – the only rocky mountain blended with sophistication. It comes alongside Aspen and Vail. In fact, it is not only a ski destination because it is also suitable for sweet escapades where the majestic San Juan Mountains make a picturesque scenery for a perfect evening, with great nightlife, fine dining and shops.
    3. St. Anton – famous as one of the world’s ski origins. It simply has a terrific alpine. It also houses attractive villages of vaulted churches and comfy chalets. The pedestrian zone is lined up with several restaurants and bars where you can treat yourself with dozes of fun tied with their famous locally brewed beer and glühwei, which is a hot red wine pierced with schnapps.
    4. Zermatt – has become an exemplary alpine resort having luxury hotels, classy restaurants, chic boutiques, modern bars and clubs, and with over 195 miles of its trails. However, this Swiss town has no buildings taller than a four-story average. The primary modes of transportation are as charming as horse-drawn sleighs and innovative electric taxis.
    5. Bariloche – chiefly get yourself caught in on the Cerro Catedral Mountain. Here you can have the trek that suits you right, and when the chase is over indulge in the nightlife that go with excellent dining and vibrant outdoor activities. Take not that this is one of the most visited hotspots in Argentina.
    6. Whistler – “great skiing” are only two words that best describes this place. It is situated a couple of miles from Vancouver. And when the sun sets the mountain views becomes so dramatic and breathtaking. Parties rock at night in this ski area of Vancouver.

There is no doubt that these places will take you in for a ride and experience of a lifetime. “Where its cold, the catches are hot.” A perfect combination for a truly perfect vacation.

 Lake Tahoe blossoming in spring

Lake Tahoe blossoming in springIT’s better to teach your kids early to learn how to ski. Spring break is the best time to teach your eight-year-old how to ski because it’s vacation time here in the United States. For me, the most beautiful place in the country which is conducive to learning skating is Lake Tahoe because it offers the most spectacular view not just of the lake but of the evergreens, firs and the snowy countryside. After all, there is still snow left in Lake Tahoe Mountains at this time of the year because we are still transitioning from winter to summer. And don’t worry, Lake Tahoe skiing schools are equipped with all the safety gadgets and materials that you can think of and all instructors are experts and have even become skiing champions in the past.

There’s one point that one must instill upon skiing in Lake Tahoe, whether you’re still an amateur or an experienced skier. Never ever attempt to ski or drive a snowmobile when drunk. Always don the appropriate gear. If you want to avail of humongous discounts into your vacation here in Lake Tahoe, just do a Google search on the Internet. Another alternative is to call your favorite online travel agency Expedia or Travelocity. If you are the executive assistant of a company CEO, then you can suggest to your boss to have the annual spring planning of your company at Lake Tahoe for three days. This is a good plan especially if your company has raked in huge earnings and revenues last year. Giving back vacation bonuses to your employees can make the company reap more revenues for the succeeding year.

For North Lake Tahoe, you can actually book a condo suite at only $150 a night. Any hotel or condo suite here in North Lake Tahoe is just an eight-minute hike to the best skiing schools, casinos, restaurants, basketball courts and tennis courts here. Aside from the skiing, what I like most about Lake Tahoe is the food. Since Lake Tahoe is also home to dozens of freshwater species like opossum shrimp, Kokanee salmon, cladocerans, cui-ui sucker fish and Lahontan cutthroat trout, there are lots of seafood restaurants here. Some of the gastronomic stuff that you can dig into includes fried crabcakes, steamed shellfish, grilled prawns, calamari, seafood chowder and lobster tail. But the one that I like best is the one with the Mediterranean twist - scallops and tiger prawns made into pasta Provencal style.
