Spring is a great time to be in Tahoe because you can partake in all of the great outdoor activities Tahoe has to offer; skiing, hiking, biking, swimming, boating and more! Not to mention some of the great local events that take place.
Spring Skiing 
Spring skiing can go well into May and even to the 4th of July on occasion. With the week winter this year your chances of skiing corn are on weekends only until Mid May. So get out there! Tahoe is known for its fabulous ski resorts and spring skiing on corn snow is part of the reason they are so fabulous! I have complied a list of the best and my favorite, spring skiing runs at the various ski resorts in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee region check it out HERE
Farmer’s Market 
The Tahoe City and Truckee Framers Market’s kick off in mid May and are always a good time to stock up on produce and fruit as well as some good food truck treats.
Tahoe City Farmers Market at Commons Beach. Thursdays — 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Truckee Farmer’s Market Riverview park. Tuesdays- 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Sailing 
Tahoe Sailing Charters offers public and private sailing charters from May through October. The trips depart from Tahoe City and offer a wide variety of ways to get out on the lake.
Daily 2 hour public cruises on the Tahoe Cruz, a 50ft monohull. 12:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. To Book a cruise click HERE
Waterfall Hunting 
Spring is a great time to get out on the hiking trails. Many places will still be covered in snow, or will be half snow half mud, but that should not deter you from getting out there because the snow has started to melt and the waterfalls are at their peak in mid April through May. Check out our recommendations HERE
Kayak or SUP on Lake Tahoe 
Spring in Tahoe is reasonably warm and the lake is always as smooth as glass which is perfect for kayaking and Stand Up Paddle Boarding. If you are feeling adventurous try a dip in the lake too! For kayak rentals check out Tahoe Paddle and Ore, Open May 1st
Wildflower Hikes
Wildflowers can be found on many hiking trails in Tahoe and Truckee as the snow begins to melt. Usually at the end of May and all of June with some wildflower meadows lasting into summer and the month of July. I have created a list of my favorite wildflower hikes that are good for the whole family. See all the details HERE.
