Cancellation Policy:
CANCELLATIONS
Cancellations made after deposit paid and prior to the first scheduled payment due date will result in a $50 administrative cancellation fee.

Any cancellation made after the first scheduled payment due date will result in the loss of all moneys paid UNLESS: 1) a wait list exists, and a “gender specific” replacement can accommodate the cancellation; 2) a wait list does not exist, and the canceling party can provide an appropriate “gender specific” replacement; or 3) the trip leader receives and signs up a “gender specific” participant to replace the canceled participant after having received his/her notice to cancel. If a replacement is obtained, an administrative cancellation fee of $100 AND the cost of an “airline ticket name change” (if one required) will be deducted from any refund to the canceled participant. When a wait list is in effect, substitutions of one’s own reservation is prohibited.

Note: The afore stated policy remains in effect when a cancellation is made as a result of a medical or family death situation which prohibits the attendance of the trip participant. Trip participants are encouraged to subscribe to a Trip Cancellation Insurance to ensure reimbursement for such situations. Reimbursement for such cancellation is between the Insurance Company and the insured and not the DSC. Work related cancellations are not generally accommodated by Trip Cancellation Insurance.

About this event


2027 Tahoe - 01 - 800
Trip Leader:  James Walther, 214-392-9443, james.t.walther@gmail.com


South Lake Tahoe is a skier’s paradise with epic snow, stunning lake views from the slopes, and no passport needed for U.S. folks. You get Heavenly Resort with over ninety runs across two states, plus Kirkwood’s deep powder and Sierra-at-Tahoe’s family-friendly vibes.  The mix of California sunshine and Nevada casinos makes it the perfect combo of outdoor adventure and après-ski fun.  Great snow, great views, and tons of variety make it one of the best winter destinations in the country.

Of South Lake Tahoe's three main resorts, Heavenly Resort is the largest and highest skiable area, with 97 runs, 4,800 acres with a summit elevation of 10,040 feet, and almost 5,000 feet of vertical drop.  High above the sapphire-blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is one of the most unique snow resorts on the planet.  You can ski California or Nevada on wide-open groomed cruisers, double-black diamond canyons, or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America.  Heavenly's also famous for its incredible views of Lake Tahoe from the slopes.  It has:

  • 34 miles of wide-open groomed cruisers for intermediate skiers
  • 1,600-foot plunges in double-black diamond canyons for advanced and expert riders
  • 3 terrain parks (Groove Park, Lakeview Park, Mombo Park) for snowboarders
  • 9% beginner, 57% intermediate, 34% advanced/expert terrain distribution
  • 28 chairlifts around the mountain, including 9 high-speed lifts

The top non-skiing winter activities in South Lake Tahoe are snowmobiling through the backcountry, snowshoeing with epic lake views, and ice skating at the outdoor rink in Heavenly Village. You can also hit the casinos on the Nevada side for some nightlife, soak in a hot spring, or take a sleigh ride through the snow. Those are the highlights that people love.

Lodging

Nestled right on the shore of Lake Tahoe, Margaritaville Resort blends laid-back island vibes with mountain adventure. You get stunning lake and mountain views from almost every angle, plus easy access to skiing, hiking, and water sports depending on the season. The rooms are super comfortable, the pool area’s got that tropical feel with music and drinks, and the restaurants serve up fresh seafood and classic comfort food with a Jimmy Buffett twist. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, watch the sunset over the water, and just feel like you’re on island time without leaving California.  Rooms have one king bed or two queen beds.
