Information may not be reliable

Do you love cold weather as long as there is enough snow on the ground for your favorite outdoors activities? Do you have an active outdoor family that wants to mix up activities each season? Then you need to check out Donner Lake, luxurious idealistic living for outdoors families who crave not only a summer lake experience but also want the best winter snowsport experience.

Winter outdoor snow activities do not get much better than this. Donner Lake sees 20+ feet of snowfall each year during the winter, which is hard to beat in northern California. For cross country skiers, Royal Gorge is nearby and has some of the best western cross country ski terrain. Nearby Boreal Ridge and Donner Summit (along with Donner Ski Ranch) are perfect for avid snowboarders who want a park that caters to them. Whether you are a beginner snowboarder looking for inspiration or an advanced snowboarder looking to play or carve with other talented snowboarders, these two snowboarding parks are within easy reach living on Donner Lake. Powder skiing is best had at the Sugar Bowl, which is nearby and offers the best powder skiing conditions each winter on Donner Summit.

Summers are also beautiful with the high Sierra offering miles and miles of trails for hiking, backpacking, and camping. Gorgeous tree views from your home and abundant wildflowers will bring a smile to your face. Donner Lake also has access to Interstate80 and nearby Truckee to make traveling between all of the little cities in the mountains convenient. Another fun summer aspect of living in Donner Lake is the Donner Lake Triathlon, which is an annual July tradition. Still need more outdoor activities? Go fishing, mountain biking, four wheel riding, water-skiing, boating, and wind surfing during the summer while you wait for the snow to come back to Donner Lake.
