What is there to do in Tahoe at this time of the year?

Gonna be going up with my girl this weekend, and staying at the Marriott thats right at the bottom of Heavenly.

Key facts: she doesn't like hiking and probably won't want to go to the Lake. That takes out 2 of the biggest things I would think there are to do in Tahoe in June.

And she's not into gambling at Casinos too. Or into views. Gonna make this a tough one...

Any help?

Free room at that Marriott resort place for Fri/Sat and we both need to get away, we're living in SoCal at the moment.

And on the way back I'm picking up my car from EQ in Fairfield so kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

When is Lake Tahoe NOT blue ***** cold?

I know people who learned how to water ski on that lake. They were forced to learn there since when you went down, you froze your *** off.

It was an excellent incentive to stay up on your skis

I found this but I think its lying..lol

The water temperature near the surface generally cools to 40 to 50oF (4.5 to 10oC) during February and March and warms to 65 to 70oF (18 to 21oC) during August and September. Below a depth of 600 to 700 ft (183 to 213 m), the water temperature remains a constant 39oF (4.0oC).
no way that puddle of ice gets up to 70deg in the summer.
