## About

Situated off Interstate 80 at Exit 165 at roughly 5,600 feet in Tahoe National Forest, Cisco Grove Snow Play Area is an established winter family recreation haven within 75 minutes of the Sacramento valley. The recreation area provides dedicated, tiered snow sliding and tubing hills separated from pedestrian pathways, allowing children to safely slide down packed powder runs. Families can bring their own plastic sleds or rent heavy-duty inner tubes on site. The surrounding alpine forest of Jeffrey pines and granite boulders offers scenic spots for building snow forts, snowshoeing along the gentle South Yuba River corridor, and enjoying winter tailgate picnics with hot thermoses of cider.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved and plowed parking lots; snow sleds or baby backpack carriers are recommended once moving past the snowline.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: On-site warming store and heated restrooms with baby changing counters; picnic tables located along the forest edge.
• Age Suitability: All ages; designated gentle slopes cater specifically to toddlers age 2 to 5 while steeper chutes entertain older youth.
• Sensory Tips: Natural mountain sounds with laughing children; pack waterproof mittens, snow bibs, thermal underlayers, and change of warm dry clothes for the drive home.
