WE LIKE

  • This is a mecca for extreme skiers. But that said there is terrain to suit all abilities. Great beginners area at the top of the mountain.
  • Over 11 metres of snowfall annually. Offers night skiing.
  • Nearly all the accommodation is ski in ski out. You can access the other 6 resorts around Lake Tahoe, all of which can be combined on the same lift pass.

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Not the livliest apres ski.
  • Its popularity means that it can get very crowded at peak times. So if its a powder day and the wind isnt blowing too hard, get out as early as you can!
