Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time snowshoer, this comprehensive guide will help you make the most of your Tahoe snowshoeing experience.
Introduction:
Tahoe is a winter wonderland, and snowshoeing is the perfect way to explore its beauty. With the right equipment and knowledge, you can enjoy the great outdoors while getting exercise and fresh air. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about snowshoeing in Tahoe, including the best trails to explore, equipment to use, and safety tips to keep in mind.
Section 1: Equipment
Before you hit the trails, it’s important to have the right equipment. Snowshoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it’s important to choose the right pair for your needs. You’ll also need warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy boots. We recommend renting equipment if you’re new to snowshoeing, as it can be an expensive investment. Rent snowshoes here.

“If you’re going to do one thing, schedule a snowshoe tour through this company! My boyfriend and I had never been snowshoeing and I was nervous beforehand. Dave called us the evening prior to be sure we were well prepared as it had snowed a lot the day before. The instruction we were given made it so easy to find the meeting location. Dave had all the gear we needed and made it a very easy experience. The route we took was beautiful and gave us the best views. Dave is experienced and knowledgeable which is what made our experience so great. He knows the area but took us up at our pace which I was thankful for! We were so pleased with our experience and I am sure anyone that goes snowshoeing with this company will have a great time! Dave also takes FABULOUS photos which we love! I was breathing too heavy to document much but he sent us all the photos he took which were awesome. So thankful for this trip and the memories! Thanks, Dave!”
