## About

Perched at 7,400 feet atop historic Echo Summit on Highway 50 (~3 hours east of the Bay Area), Adventure Mountain Lake Tahoe encompasses 40 pristine acres of machine-groomed sledding and tubing terrain. With over 15 sculpted lanes offering thrilling banked berms alongside gentle slope runs, it is South Lake Tahoe's largest dedicated snow-play park.

Sessions run in 2-hour blocks with specialized resort-provided snow tubes included. Families can take a break inside the rustic mountain base lodge, featuring a cozy fireplace, Mountain Cafe serving hot chocolate, burgers, and churros, clean restrooms, and outdoor viewing picnic tables. Weekend evenings also feature illuminated 'Night Tubing' under the Sierra stars. Sledding is first-come, first-served; arrive early on holiday mornings to guarantee parking.
