Tahoe City, CA – North Lake Tahoe ski resorts are shortening the learning curve with those new to skiing and snowboarding by offering a special savings weekend to get you cruising down the slopes in no time.

The 12th Annual Learn to Ski and Board Weekend – Learn More on the North Shore, scheduled for December 10-11, is geared for beginners, costs only $30 and includes an all-day beginner lift ticket, group lesson and gear rental.
