Snow has arrived early in Lake Tahoe, which is great news for snowboarders and skiiers looking forward to hitting the slopes.

A shock wave has been rolling through Northern California as people are surprised by all the powder stacked up.

Students everywhere are itching for winter break to come around to go up to Tahoe to enjoy skiing and snowboarding.

It’s already snowing in Tahoe. Can’t wait till school is over so I can hit the slopes.

Yaaaay! Tahoe for winter break ⛷ haven’t been back since the last time there wasn’t enough snow ?

For some, skiing or snowboarding is a must, and even a tradition. Capturing the scenery is also necessary.

Skiing in tahoe before the year ends is a must.

If you didn’t take a picture to capture your experience, did you even go to Tahoe?

Snowglobe Music Festival is also a great excuse to make a quick trip to the different resorts around Tahoe.

Although skiing and snowboarding is quite tough at first, that does not stop people from coming out during the winter.

The weather is a great motivation to both play in the snow and go skiing or snowboarding.

It’s a sunny 54 degrees out in Tahoe today. What is this. I want to go snowboarding.#youstayclassytahoe ☃
