My wife and I recently stayed in Tahoe for our honeymoon and unbeknownst to us, we were 'in between seasons'. A lot of the snow activities were limited, but thankfully, Coldstream was still offering snowmobile tours. Because of the slow season, we were the only ones signed up for the afternoon session and essentially got a private tour! We enjoyed amazing scenery, points of interest from our knowledgeable guide Shannon, an experience that was both fun and challenging. My only suggestion to them would be to get machines that don't put out so much exhaust - being behind someone, you do inhale a lot!
