Club Urban Diversion Recommends
Winter Cabin Ski Lease Share

When the snow comes, the snow melts and the bears come out of hibernation there is no prettier place to be than Tahoe!  The 3 beautiful ski share cabins are close to the 3 major ski resorts in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, North Lake Tahoe, and Truckee are the perfect place to get out of the city and into nature. Whether you want to have a slow and easy weekend relaxing at home with your cabin share friends  or get your adrenaline seeking weekend warrior on the mountain... the cabins are a great place to find your speed.

 

What is a Cabin Ski Lease Share

The association has three amazing Tahoe cabins in Tahoe!  #1 Vista Villa on the North Shore (best for North Star skiing), #2 Heavenly Chalet in the South Shore (on the slopes of Heavenly) and #3 Located in the Donner area of Truckee (best for Squaw/Alpine).  As a lease member of this amazing exclusive community of members you get keys to one (but access to all of them) to go up whenever they want, and bring a guest!  You have a guaranteed bed waiting for you always, access to everything from bikes, kayaks, saunas, hot tubs, and other great members organizing spontaneous activities on the mountain, on the lake or in the town... or just relaxing and chilling at the cabin. 

 

Tired of working from home? We have high speed internet and work spaces you can hide out in or zoom from in each cabin

 

The best part about Tahoe ski Cabins?  The amazing community!  There is nothing like a great community to make Tahoe trips fun and memorable.  Each cabin has approximately 15-24 members, that are just like you, working, relaxing, bringing their friends up, inviting you to do group dinners, plan fun outings with them, or doing your own hike/bike/SUP/ski/board trips and more.

​

History of the Ski Lease Share

Many years ago, we started renting cabins in Tahoe for weekends of ski fun.  Eventually we had a waiting list, and members rented a couple cabins.  They were loosely associated with each other, and loosely associated with Club Urban Diversion.  Eventually we wanted to bring them together to provide a community and make it easier for everyone to enjoy the mountains and area together.  We organize lake cleanups, apres ski events, and summer hikes/bikes/paddles.  We are working on making it so more ski leases can come together.

What to Expect

We want our members to think of the cabins as your own place in Tahoe, a place you can go to any time you want.  Bring a friend, enjoy a relaxing weekend, meet some other people, go out on the town, whatever you like!

 

Most of us are young at heart, (ages upper 20s, 30s and 40s) but not party animals and you can expect to get a good nights rest before getting outdoorsy. That being said, we hit the hot tub after getting back to the house and often make group dinners or go out to see bands and other entertainment in Tahoe. South Shore is located in Nevada and is on the Tahoe Blue shuttle line and can get your into/out of town quickly.

 

Because we want all of our community members to feel comfortable with each other, all of the cabin members have to be approved by the other cabin members before they can join the ski cabin.

    A: We are all just busy working professionals that have to work some days, try to get to Tahoe whenever possible, enjoy skiing/boarding with others but are all different skill levels, some first time on the mountain, some really amazing.  We enjoy the social aspect laughing, going out, chilling watching TV together.
