I'm thinking of travelling to San Francisco in mid December 2006. I
understand that Lake Tahoe is a ski resort. I'm an absolute beginner but I
have two teenagers who have been ski'ing a couple of times before.

Is there good snow coverage at Lake Tahoe in December?

Usually.

Can anybody recommend
some resort locations at Lake Tahoe that fit the bill?

Yes. What's your budget in time and money.
