7 Best Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts for a Winter Getaway

"A smaller, family-owned mountain with a long history (owned since 1939) that delivers a purist alpine experience across roughly 1,650 skiable acres and terrain geared toward intermediates and advanced skiers while still offering about 17% beginner trails. Its compact scale and slopeside convenience appeal to visitors who prefer a traditional, less commercial vibe; the on-site lodge provides the most convenient slopeside lodging and perks like free gear storage. Access is possible with the Mountain Collective Pass or single-day lift tickets (rates can start around $85 but typically fall between $98 and $150 depending on timing)." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
