Early one evening we walked along the street and looked inside some of the shops on South Lake Tahoe Blvd. There were some neat items for sale, but you will mostly find what you would expect: t-shirts, postcards, and other touristy stuff. We did need to pick up some new ski clothing, however, and we found The Village Mountain Surf at 3552 Lake Tahoe Blvd to have everything we needed. They even had bathing suits, so I could buy a new pair of board shorts and bikini top to wear in the hot tub! There is also a K-mart to pick up essentials you may have left behind a little more cheaply than you would in a ski shop. My husband found a great pair of ski pants in the grocery store (Roley's), believe it or not!!!
Even though South Lake Tahoe is not as nice as some ski village areas (Breckinridge, CO comes to mind), we still enjoyed a walk up and down the street, grabbing a cup of coffee, considering having our palms read by a psychic.
We also found it interesting to notice how many Las Vegas type wedding chapel places there were in South Lake Tahoe! That amused us.... And yes.... I did pick up the customary tourist's shirt....
