Get the Family Out Skiing!
Outdoor recreation promotes healthier, more active lifestyles. And adventure sports provide an additional excitement while at the same time strengthening self-confidence and providing the mental and physical health benefits that come participating in outdoor recreation. Studies show that kids who participate in outdoor recreation year round perform at higher academic levels. Luckily, Tahoe is a short drive away, so pack the family up and head to Tahoe for family time in the snow.
