On a recent trip to Tahoe, we realized we needed a bigger set of snow boots for our toddler. A quick search on Yelp turned up TMS. It had the added bonus of being next to a grocery store, so we could kill two birds with one stone. Enter TMS and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They had a good selection of high quality gear and apparel for all seasons. We got help with trying on a pair of boots for our 18-month old and couldn't help picking up a few toys for ourselves. If you're looking for a good selection of quality adventure brands without crazy high prices and any pretentiousness, check out Tahoe Mountain Sports.

Visiting Backcountry was such a refreshing experience. From the moment I walked in, everyone was…read morewarm, friendly, and genuinely happy to help. You can immediately feel the good energy in the space. The team was not only knowledgeable, but fun and engaging to be around. They took the time to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure I felt set up and excited for the adventure ahead. Nothing felt rushed or transactional. It felt like being welcomed by people who truly love what they do and love sharing it with others. They made me feel comfortable, included, and ready to get out there and enjoy everything Tahoe has to offer. In a mountain town, places like this really stand out. Great people, great vibe, and the kind of shop that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend supporting them.

I picked up some sunglasses from an Australian company on a Black Friday deal. My husband really wanted a shirt, but they didn't really have any inventory or really any interesting apparel, which was definitely a missed opportunity.

Easy access off Donner Summit makes it a go-to without the chaos, and the recent improvements really show in the lodge and base areas. It's the perfect medium-sized mountain: big enough to explore all day, but dialed enough to avoid the sprawl and commuting lift-to-lift. The terrain mix is legit too, from mellow groomers to steep lines and playful powder zones. A place that still feels like skiing should. If anything, I'd love to see how they continue building on the upgrades.
