Snow time!
With deep snow on the mountains, blue skies, and reasonable temperatures, winter is a premiere season to stay in Incline Village.
Winter Activities in Incline Village
Lake Tahoe winters offer a wide variety of snow sports, events, and spectacular scenery. North Lake Tahoe has the largest concentration of downhill ski resorts in the nation—11, in fact—with world-class terrain and spectacular views. The Incline Lodge is a gateway to all of the resorts, especially to Diamond Peak in Incline Village and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, which is 15 minutes from Incline Village. Access discount lift tickets are provided with all winter reservations (peak period restrictions apply).
Diamond Peak Ski Resort
Diamond Peak Ski Resort is a community-owned ski resort located just 1 mile from The Incline Lodge, with a free ski shuttle running every 30 minutes to and from the resort. Known for having Tahoe’s best view, best value, and a friendly atmosphere that skiers and riders looking to avoid the big corporate resorts love, Diamond Peak offers exceptional terrain for all abilities and great snow quality. The Incline Lodge guests enjoy $10 off the Diamond Peak online price for lift tickets ($20 off window rates!) Peak period restrictions apply: Dec 21– Jan 5; Jan 18 – 20; Feb 15 – 23.
Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe
Located only 15 minutes from The Incline Lodge, all guests can enjoy discount lift tickets at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe all winter long. With a base elevation of 8,260’ complimented by mostly northern and eastern facing runs, Mt. Rose offers supreme snow conditions even on the warmest of spring days. Their convenient slope-side parking lots are incredibly close to the lifts. Skip the exhaustive hikes through villages, mandatory shuttle rides, and paid parking reservations. From some of the best beginner terrain in the area to the thrill of the world-renowned Chutes, Mt. Rose offers something for every level of skier & snowboarder.
Backcountry
The Mount Rose Wilderness Area is a backcountry winter wonderland for skiers. Access is easy from the top of hwy 431, just minutes from The Incline Lodge. With a high elevation parking area at 8,000’, you can count on Mount Rose for producing the deepest and driest snow at times. Spend the day exploring a number of small sub peaks near the car or go for the summit for a stark contrasting view of the Tahoe basin and Nevada high desert. Be sure to be safe, travel with knowledgeable skiers/riders, check avalanche reports, and practice your snow safety techniques on a regular basis.
Snowshoeing
Whether it’s during the day or under the moonlight, snowshoeing is a peaceful and active experience. We’re located close to great spots like the East Shore Trail and Tahoe Meadow. For rentals and tours, check out Tahoe Snowshoe Tours.
Enjoy a Sunset
Vibrant colors behind silhouetted mountains over the rippling water is a zen experience. Take in a breathtaking sunset at Sand Harbor, Hidden Beach, or Incline Village’s local beaches.
