Since Lake Tahoe was so close to UC Davis, we would go skiing usually once a year up there.  This picture above is from our dorm ski trip to Sierra at Tahoe.  My fraternity also had a ski trip to Heavenly Ski Resort up in Tahoe also.  In addition, we have had College Republican retreats up at Tahoe also, where we would rent large three story cabins with hot tubs.  They were fun!  Yeah, we would use the hot tubs even when it was freezing outside and snowing.
