22Lake Tahoe, California
Lake Tahoe is one of the country’s ultimate ski destinations. Therefore, it should be no surprise to see this place on this list. World-class slopes surround the lake and thus draw skiers from across the globe.
The 1960 Olympics were even hosted here at the resort once named Squaw Valley. In fact, visitors can still ski some of the slopes used by the competitors. Not feeling quite that skilled?
You can opt for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or snow tubing. Check out the well-known Olympic museum atop one of the ski lifts too. Fly into Reno and score a free lift ticket from one of the area resorts as well!
