For the 2024/2025 season, reservable sessions will be offered to limit capacity and avoid overcrowding on the ice, sled hill, and trails. Reservations for all sessions are encouraged and will be available online before your visit at tcpud.org/winter.


Limited walkups will be permitted. No guarantee space will be available without an advance reservation.

 

Please Note: Snow is needed to operate the cross-country ski and snowshoe trail and sled hill. Online reservations for these activities will be made available when there is enough snow in the forecast to open these features. - keep those snow dances going!

Post of the Month


Well you don't see that every day. 🏗️🚤 Earlier this Fall, our team contracted with an amphibious crane vehicle to transport new water pumps from land into Lake Tahoe—a critical step in building the new West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant.



This state-of-the-art facility will ensure a year-round, drought-resistant water supply for the west shore of Lake Tahoe, securing clean, reliable water for our community now and into the future.



Stay tuned for a ribbon cutting and tours of this incredible new facility in 2025.
