Happy Valentine's Day!

Love is in the air in Lake Tahoe. Whether it’s felt through the high coming from all of the skiers getting to enjoy the beautiful powder that we have been blessed with as of late or if its true love that makes the heart flutter, it's safe to say that the vibe around the Jewel of the Sierras is pure sweetheart.

To help infuse even more sugar into the Valentine’s Day celebration, there are a ton of fun things to do this week that inspire nothing but smiles. Here are five activities I'm especially looking forward to .

The Stillwater Spa & Salon is making it simple to enjoy the splendor of love with their Skiing is for Sweethearts Spa Package. An offering of splendor available only until the 14th of February, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get pampered like you deserve, for the price you deserve.
