5 Must-Haves for Your Northern California Winter Packing List
Here are five items you need to add to your winter packing list. Many of these items are bulky, so we suggest purchasing some packing cubes that can compress your clothes and save space in your suitcase! 1. Reusable Water Bottle
Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places in California. Our local community works hard daily to ensure that we keep Lake Tahoe beautiful by minimizing trash and non-recyclables. Thatâs why we ask visitors to practice eco-friendly travel in North Lake Tahoe. During the winter months, itâs a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle to hydrate after a day on the slopes. Drinking enough water also helps prevent altitude sickness, so itâs a win-win! 2. Multiple Layers
Lake Tahoe in winter boasts high temperatures in the 40s and low temperatures in the 20s. We suggest packing layers to mix and match, which helps accommodate any temperature. In the early morning, it may be cold and cloudy, but by the afternoon the sun is shining! We recommend layering a long sleeve shirt on top of a short sleeve so you can stay warm in the morning and shed your layers in the afternoon! 3. Winter Coat
With lows in the 20s, itâs important to bring a winter coat! The style is completely up to you. Just make sure that it has a thick lining, is easy to zip or button, and perhaps has a hood. After all, most body heat escapes from your head and feet! 4. Snow Boots
On average, the Lake Tahoe area sees an average snowfall of 215.4 inches each year. Thatâs nearly 18 feet of snow! A pair of good-quality snow boots are a must-have for your packing list. 5. Sunscreen
Although cold, there are many sunny days during the winter in Lake Tahoe. Be sure to bring sunscreen to protect your face and other exposed skin. It doesnât have to be cold to get a sunburn! Pack Your Bags & Head to North Lake Tahoe
