Aspen Realty Lake Tahoe
The Tahoe Basin’s seven cross-country ski resorts range from small operations with less than 20 trails to Royal Gorge and Spooner Lake cross country ski areas, each with 9,000 acres of terrain. The cross country ski places are different as far wayside sights are concerned, too, with mountain peaks, three lakes, a number of creeks, forests of aspen and pine on the scenic bill of fare.
Kirkwood Cross Country & Snowshoe Center
Nestled in Alpine Valley, one-fifth of a mile from Kirkwood Downhill Ski Resort, the Cross Country Center features 80 kilometers of machine groomed trails, 60 percent of which are for intermediate skiers. There are three different interconnected trail systems, all of which have both snowshoe and skating lanes. Kirkwood Meadow consists of two five-kilometer loops, which can be accessed from both the north and south. Sierra Vista is part of an old favorite, the Schneider trail system which heads toward the area Snowshoe Thompson crossed 150 years ago. Caples Creek trail system consists of eight trails in an area inhabited by beaver, birds of prey, ducks, heron and small fur-bearing creatures.
Northstar-at-Tahoe Cross Country Ski Center
The 1,500-acre Nordic center at Northstar contains 50 kilometers of groomed, scenic trails, with viewpoints including vistas of Lake Tahoe and the Martis Valley. Lessons in all styles of cross-country skiing – Telemark, striding and skating – are conducted by PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) certified instructors. The facility’s three warming huts offer not only a place to get warm, but also free water and hot drinks. The cross-country ski and snowshoe center at Northstar is located at mid-mountain just past the ski and snowshoe schools. In 2010, Northstar became part of Vail Resorts, which includes Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Kaystone in Colorado as well as Heavenly at Tahoe. Opening day is November 20.
