As a Midwest girl, it has always fascinated me how quickly you can move between different microclimates in California. Nothing illustrates this more than a drive from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe in December. As soon as you arrive in the mountains, cue winter wonderland season, with sparkling diamond snow crystals and piercing blue skies. The ski resorts are open, which calls to mind après ski, crafty cocktails, and hearty meals to warm up after a day of playing in the great outdoors. North or South end of the lake and everything in between, check out our dining guide for the best options to end your wintery adventures.
