Winter in Tahoe: A Photo Essay

Feb 21, 2026

There’s something really peaceful about filming winterscapes. The silence, the solitude, and the work it takes to find a good spot. I often ski tour or cross-country ski to find these locations, or bring my camera to a ski resort. Other times, I use my drone.

The Tahoe-Truckee region is full of world-class attractions and hidden gems that always look magical once blanketed under a new sheet of snow. The lake looks brighter, and more blue. Golden hour casts a stunning shade of gold on the peaks, and the skies often turn into cotton candied hues of purple and pink.

Below are some of my favorite shots from recent years, along with their respective locations. Enjoy!
