Lake Tahoe Traveler!

The ski season varies from yr. to yr., depending on the weather. Generally, it’s always fully open by Thanskiging weekend & sometimes it’s open as early as the middle fo October. October skiing is rare but you’ll have no problem skiing there by mid-November. The ski season always goes into April of each yr. but I wouldn’t count on much skiing past mid-April. Remember, that the early & late skiing may mean that not all the runs are open & that all the lifts are not operated & you could be limited to skiing only the top of the mountain & the runs in the higher elevation since the temperature is much colder up there. However, you may still try the limited skiing since the lift ticket price will be reduced & also since these ski areas are so large that you’ll get your money’s worth since you’ll always have plenty of runs to try & you’ll have enough lifts operated. To be on the safe side; always check the website of each ski area & they will give you all the info. you need (open?, temperature, lift ticket price, lifts open? & runs open?). They also give you the amount of snow which makes up there base (it’s always given in feet or inches or both). Don’t ski unless you have at least two feet for a base. The best areas to check are Heavenly, Squaw Valley & Kirkwood. These are the areas in the Lake Tahoe area & they have the highest elevation, most runs & most lifts. Check websites like www.heavenly.com, www.squawvalley.com & www.kirkwood.com. These websites will give you the home website for each area & then you can click the various icons to get your exact info. Good Luck.

Which is easier and more fun?

And what resort in Lake Tahoe do you recommend taking a beginner lesson from?

Thank you!

Snowboarding had a much quicker learning curve for me, after a few times I am still a very poor skier I was a good snowboarder after 2 days. AlsoI enjoy it much more. I can’t help you with th tahoe area I have never ridden there

My wife and I are flying on Monday (1/16/2006)to Lake Tahoe for a week. We are going to be in ski school for the next three days, I was wondering if anyone knew of other things to do while we are there. She is 31, I am 29 and we both like to party and have a good time. We would also like to see and exprerience some different sights and sounds. Also does anyone have a good suggestion for a nice place to take her to eat on our first night there? It will be her birthday.

A group of four of us want to go to Lake Tahoe for New Years to ski and snow board. Where are some good places to stay? This is the first trip to Tahoe for all of us.

As a resident of Lake Tahoe for nine years now, having family and friends who have worked at most of the resorts here, I highly recommend Heavenly Village.

It almost sits above the main city of South Lake Tahoe it is so close. Right at the base is pretty much the biggest center of shops and entertainment. Check the link in my source for more information. Hope that helps

Does anyone knows where is the best fun ski and snowboarding in Lake Tahoe for a family with teenagers? We’re planning to go on the New Year Eve. Thanks in advance!

I’m going up new year day and im going to Home wood. but i prefer North star and alpine and skuaw

it really depends on your skill level.

Beginner : Alpine, North star, Sugar bowl, Home wood
Intermediate: North star, Heavenly, Sierra
Advanced: Squaw

So I’m planning a trip to Lake Tahoe this holiday season and I’m looking for a well priced but fun packed ski resort. I’m looking for great nighly rates and well priced ski lifts while also having great slopes. It’d also be nice to be located aroud some good bars or cool spots to hangout at. With all this in mind, which resort do you all think would be best?

Northstar or Sierra

We’re headed up in a group with various skills and want to find a place where we can all be happy.

Check out North Star at Tahoe. Great for every one. Wide open and nice mellow runs. Not the most demanding but a ton of fun things to do. Check it out.
