If you've never considered spending the beginning of ski season in the perfect resort location, you should schedule a stay at hotels in Lake Tahoe. Thanksgiving in Lake Tahoe can be the most beautiful time of the year to hit the slopes, with fresh powder at the peaks heralding the start of the season and multicolored leaves gracing the trees around you. Whether you prefer the idea of traditional alpine skiing or the more modern and extreme sport of snowboarding, you can find up to 100 inches of snow even at this early point in the year at Tahoe resorts. While you are there, do some shopping in the specialty shops for souvenirs and trinkets to remind you of your stay at Lake Tahoe.
For those staying in Lake Tahoe hotels, you don't need to go far to get to the slopes — there are plenty of accommodations near the best ski resorts in the tourist town. Of course, there is much more to do in this popular vacation destination than just ski, especially at Thanksgiving. Stop and enjoy a traditional turkey dinner, or set up a new tradition with your friends and loved ones by celebrating the holiday at one of the swank dining locations in Lake Tahoe. Visit the lake, which may be too cold for skiing but is still a gorgeous place to enjoy nature and a great location for fishing, especially early on a cold morning. Book your stay at one of the Lake Tahoe hotels and take advantage of the early ski season by spending Thanksgiving in Lake Tahoe.
