When it comes to cross country skiing, Truckee sits at another level. Home to a plethora of award winning nordic centers and a vast network of backcountry trails to explore, it can be argued as one of the best places on the planet to strap on a pair of skis and glide away. If you’re tired of the fast paced flow of downhill skiing, cross country skiing in Tahoe - Truckee or even snowshoeing is the perfect antidote. Think of it as winter’s version of hiking… but better.
