Lake Tahoe

Places to go: Heavenly Village, Zephyr Cove, Ski resort (Mt. Rose was cheapest, and good for beginners like me), Emerald Bay Beach, Cave Rock, etc.

Lake Tahoe was a very amazing and fun place to go. There was a lot of snow. I and my family built snowmen, skied, and sledded. It took us quite a while to go up there because after we went to Big Bear, we had to drive way up to my sister, and then we had to go to Lake Tahoe, so then it took us an extra two hours from Davis, but it was worth it to get to meet my sister (actually, we picked her). We saw amazing views at Lake Tahoe, it was spectacular. I recommend going there.

Big Bear Mountain

Nov 23-24, 2025

Where to go: Big bear village, Castle rock, Big bear discovery center, Alpine pedal trail, Solar observatory

Big Bear Mountain was a very fun experience. There was a lot of snow. It took us about four hours to go there because we were going to LA and then Big Bear from Carlsbad. We went to Castle Rock, Alpine Trail, and we saw amazing mountains. The view was astonishing.
