A Ski Lease in the South Lake Tahoe area refers to a lease of a ski condo/cabin/house for 3-6 months during the winter season. Often, groups from work or school will be created to split the costs of a Ski Lease. These groups will create rental usage rules, who gets what bedroom/bathroom and how to deal with guests etc... Ski Leases usually start in November and end in late April. Now is the time to put your group together and secure your Ski Lease.
