Tahoe Ski Mountains
Sierra-At-Tahoe
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Heavenly Ski Resort
Sierra-at-Tahoe is hands down the local’s choice for so many reasons! Sierra-at-Tahoe offers a family friendly layout, with terrain for all skill levels. We love Sierra-at-Tahoe because of its parks! Sierra encourages progression by providing parks for all skill levels ranging from low to the ground boxes and jumps to massive jump lines, hips, rails, and freestyle stomping grounds. Later in the season, you will also find one of the best half pipes and boardercross runs in the basin! Not only is Sierra-At-Tahoe a locals favorite, but the home mountain for some of the most decorated Olympic athletes including Jamie Anderson, and Maddie Bowman. Sierra is the place to be if you’re looking for a laid-back friendly environment, great music, good food, and killer views.
Heavenly Ski Resort
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Heavenly Ski Resort
Heavenly Ski Resort is a Tahoe staple, this mountain has incredible offerings, especially for families and beginner skiers and riders. Located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe with multiple access points, we love this mountain for its convenience! When this mountain is fully open, it offers 97 runs ranging from beginner groomers to some of the best tree runs in the basin. On a powder day at Heavenly, the out of bounds gates offer an outstanding backcountry experience!! Heavenly also boasts one of America's largest snowmaking systems, which makes spring park days a must! Heavenly has runs on both sides of the CA & NV border, and has the highest elevation of the resorts around the lake, creating views that are unparalleled.
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Kirkwood has been a long-time locals favorite. Kirkwood has over 2,000 feet of vertical drop and 2,300 acres of various terrain; ranging from mellow groomers to cliffs and cornices. We love Kirkwood because of its steep mountain peaks that extend more than 9,000ft in elevation. Many locals refer to as its “K-Factor” which is Kirkwood’s mega snowstorms, that tend to be greater than any other mountain in the basin. If you’re looking for steep terrain, insane cliffs, and go-pro worthy runs, Kirkwood is your spot.
Northstar
Squaw Valley
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Northstar California, formerly known as Northstar-at-Tahoe, is located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Well worth the drive if you are seeking top notch park riding. Rated #2 best terrain park in North America by TransWorld Snowboarding, Northstar offers parks that no other resort can match. There are well-maintained jib and jump lines, flawless halfpipes, and unique park settings that you can’t find anywhere else. We love Northstar because it gives us an excuse to load up the truck, jam out with our friends, and go have a park sesh that we can’t find on the south side of the lake!
Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley
Although Squaw Valley is located on the North Shore, it’s an amazing mountain that offers the best of both worlds. With over 65% of the terrain being designated as beginner or intermediate, its perfect for people who are just learning, or looking to progress their skill level. We love Squaw because of its secret cliffs and chutes and its amazingly fun spring riding. The overall atmosphere of Squaw is unmatched with its action-packed village that has shopping, food, events and activities like snowtubing and scenic rides in the aerial tram.
