Kings Beach is also a bustling town with many restaurants, casual eateries, shops, and street vendors. Winter sports enthusiasts flock to Lake Tahoe from December until April (depending on seasonal snowfall) for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding. The Palisades Tahoe ski area, the awe-inspiring Heavenly Ski Resort, and family-friendly Northstar California are world-class destinations for downhill skiing. Several other Lake Tahoe ski resorts also have top-notch facilities and superb alpine terrain.
