If you are planning to ski in Lake Tahoe, consider staying in a holiday condo that has ski-in and ski-out access. One should prepare a quick breakfast in the condominiums' gourmet kitchen after getting up in the morning and bundle up before hitting the slopes. Come home after a long and invigorating day and relax in front of the living room fireplace. Search for several eateries in the neighbourhood when you are hungry. Everyone is likely to discover something to their liking. Sunnyside Marina, where the best Tahoe wake boarding can be experienced on the pristine, blue waves of Lake Tahoe, is where one should go.
