BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO TAHOE LAKE
The best
time to visit Tahoe Lake depends
most from what
you want.
If you don't want to ski, then the best time to
visit Lake Tahoe is summer, when the margins of Tahoe Lake
become great beach centers and temperatures don't freeze (they
often average the 40°F-50°F/4º-10ºC in Winter).
September and October (and mid-Spring) are also very good
months, without big crowds and with a normally nice and pleasant
weather. These are also the cheapest months for accommodation.
But if you want to ski, then November through May are the best
months (one shouldn't forget that Tahoe's downhill resorts have
the North America's largest concentration of skiing facilities).
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO TAHOE LAKE
If you want to avoid the crowds, then... avoid the
Summer months
and holidays.
On weekends, visitors and
their cars - namely on Highway 89, near to Tahoe City, and on
U.S. 50 near to South Lake Tahoe - congest all the main roads,
facilities and beaches and other travel references (in these
summer months, weekdays are better though also busy).
In Winter ski months things are also packed in weekends, but
they don't attain the summer's levels. If possible, just avoid
the weekends. Besides, if you come midweek, you'll have great
discounts on accommodation.
Note:
Tahoe is also a very popular
wedding and honeymoon destination, namely on Valentine's Day.
