Driving around northern California’s Lake Tahoe is a veritable history museum for some of the most famous snowboard spots ever caught on film. It’s rumored that Jacques Cousteau visited Lake Tahoe’s icy depths and said that “the world is not ready to see what’s on the bottom,” but lucky for snowboarding, there are a lot of famous spots above lake level.
