Have you been on a trip that ended up being a bit of a letdown? For a traveler from the Midwest, Lake Tahoe was a lot of hassle with little reward. Maybe I should have visited in the summer. I went intending to have a great ski trip, but instead spend most of my time off the mountain looking for South Lake Tahoe activities without a car.

Finally, South Lake Tahoe
When the shuttle finally arrived at the hotel strip of South Lake Tahoe and I regained phone signal, I learned that my friends coming in from New York and Seattle were all experiencing delays as well. Since we were there with Echo Tours as part of the Northwestern University Alumni Ski Trip, I went to check in and get my ski passes. It was here that I learned the rain that blanketed the valley of mountain, continued heartily up into the peaks, and had been that way for days. Our ski trip was under a deluge of rain.
