South Lake Tahoe attracts around 15 million visitors per year, drawn to its expansive slopes, breathtaking views, and fresh powdered snow, South Lake Tahoe is a dream destination for many looking for a beautiful winter vacation. Before your road trip, take time to make a list of everything you will need. Make sure you're prepared to travel light, efficiently, and stress free.

Tips for Packing Lightly and Efficiently

Packing lightly not only saves space in your car but also keeps your trip organized and easy to unpack once you arrive at your cabin in South Lake Tahoe. 

Here are some tips to help with the packing process. 

Make a List: By making a list of what you need to take with you, you give yourself a clear plan, which reduces the chances of forgetting something important.

Stick to Essentials: Pack only the ski and snowboarding gear you’ll need, layering articles of clothing, and comfortable clothing for when you are having fun away from the slopes. Only pack what you are going to need, this will help you keep your car organized, as well as limiting the amount of belongings you have to keep track of.

Roll, Don’t Fold: Rolling your clothing is beneficial because, not only does it save space but it also minimizes wrinkles in the fabrics. You will be able to easily stack in your car as well as within your travel bags.

Use Vacuum Bags: For bulky items like jackets and snow pants, vacuum-sealed bags can reduce their size and make it easier to stay organized. If you have a small vacuum attachment this is a great tool to keep in your car for when packing and unpacking. 

Pack Easy Snacks: Having snacks handy can save you time and money during your drive or a great way to stay energized while riding the slopes.
