Reno Ski Vacations
Nearby Lake Tahoe is, of course, a major destination for outdoor
enthusiasts who enjoy the many available sports and other
activities the area has to offer. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding,
and cross-country skiing, are all within one hour’s
drive of Reno at the many ski resorts in the area, including
Mount Rose, Heavenly, Alpine Meadows, Diamond Peak, Northstar,
Squaw Valley, and Boreal. You can ski at Lake Tahoe during
the day and still enjoy the clubs, restaurants, and casinos
in Reno at night. Or, for a quieter evening after a day on
the slopes, imagine warming up in front of your own fireplace,
and then relaxing in your private hot tub. A ski vacation
in Reno really does make sense!
Reno Golf Vacations
Golf in Reno, Truckee, Graeagle, Carson
City, or Stateline during the day and spend the evening enjoying
the shows and comedy clubs available in downtown Reno. Or
for a quieter time, imagine a great day of golf at Old Greenwood
in Truckee, Edgewood Tahoe in Stateline, Lakeridge in Reno,
or even the Dragon in Graeagle, followed by a barbecue in
your own private garden and a great old movie in your living
room. Just think, you and your friends can choose to golf,
relax, and play; golf, play, and golf; or just golf, golf,
and golf. If you’re feeling especially adventurous this
springtime, try skiing in the morning, and golfing in the
afternoon. A golf vacation in Reno – what a great idea!
Reno Special Events
Reno is host to many popular events including Hot August Nights,
Street Vibrations, Artown, the Reno Air Races, the Reno Rodeo,
and the Great Reno Balloon Race. If you love old cars, super
rodeos, great tasting ribs, fast airplanes, or loud Harleys,
Reno has a special event just for you. For those who are participating
in a Reno Special Event, a vacation home in Reno is ideal – you can enjoy riding your Harley, shining your ‘56
Buick, or soaring over Reno during the day, and sleep comfortably
at night knowing your “toy” is safely tucked away
in your own garage.
