Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort

This place is great for beginners and it definitely takes the ease and stress out of first time skiers like myself. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I wish the food was healthier and had better choices, but I am happy they serve salad, espresso Martini and beer on tap. My husband had a burger and I had a turkey sandwich with broccoli soup. The soup did not sit well in my belly and so I will just bring my own packed lunch in the future.

Sierra-at-Tahoe is an awesome ski resort! My daughter and I went the day after Christmas after not snowboarding for 4 years, and it was such a great experience. This is where my daughters first learned to snowboard, so it was exciting to come back. The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though the weather was cloudy, with light snow falling and windy, the snow conditions were surprisingly good, and we had a fantastic time. The resort is perfect for families, with plenty of easy and intermediate runs that are great for all skill levels. It’s also super convenient, only about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento. I will definitely return! Highly recommend it for a fun and family-friendly snowboarding or skiing trip.

I visited Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort on January 11, 2025, and attended the 10:00 AM adult skiing class with Craig as my instructor. It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Craig was an outstanding instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled. He broke down the techniques in a way that was easy to understand and gave me the confidence to improve my skiing skills. His positive energy and encouragement made the class fun and engaging. I walked away feeling accomplished and excited to ski more! Thank you to Craig and the team at Sierra-at-Tahoe for such a memorable experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for excellent skiing lessons and an overall fantastic time. Five stars all the way!

Had another fantastic family trip to Sierra. I still remember it being the Sierra Ski Ranch from the "old days". But this place ain't old but it is classy. The employees are really nice and I know they work their azz off. It ain't easy serving weekend warriors. This was the President's Day Weekend and it had the potential to be super busy. But it wasn't super busy. From my experience, it was just .....busy? The food is decent. I had the Mountain of fries with chicken. 7/10 I guess. Fyi..... no Veterans or First Responder rates on special weekends. It's all good. By the way, it's good to see the mountain cleaned up from the Calder Fire a few years ago. So brutal. It's such a beautiful area, and I wish I could ski it another 30 years. Cheers! San Francisco Fire

Sierra-at-Tahoe was such a cool resort! My girlfriend and I stopped by here for 2 hours, we are touring all the different Ikon resorts in California. We skied out right from the car and went into the mountain bowl, right to the lift! Lovely fast express lifts, beautiful mountains, and nice groomed trails. Was an amazing place to ski for everyone of all levels, highly recommend coming here if you have an Ikon Pass. Awesome!

First time skiing, I had a group lesson of 6 people per instructor. Lesson lasted for 2h and its success highly depends on the group - we had a couple of teenagers that set back the learning. But the instructor did their best and we learned to get into the skis, go up the hill with small side steps and descend snowplowing. The downside is that many classes are taking place in a small area. My advice is to do the morning lesson, have a nice lunch around and go back to the bunny slope around the fence and practice. Afternoon lessons finish at 3 pm and then you'd have an extra hour to practice with more room. Staff are great for the lessons and rental equipment, amenities and eatery around the main lodge are good, and the terrace is nice.

First time here and it was rough to start but after the snow started coming down it really opened up. I was able to get a discount from my friend who is an Ikon pass holder so $130 didn’t seem all that bad. If you came here for groomed stuff then you might be disappointed. The parking was easy, the walk to the main lodge was short. They have lots of great bars and an awesome pro shop. When chain control kicked in during the weekend storm they even had chains ready to purchase at the season pass desk. Overall great staff. It’s definitely tough to explore the mountain as a first timer, we came here as an alternative to Sugar bowl or Boreal because their peak lift pass rates are insane. Lots of first time skiers and boarders here mixed with a hearty group of local snow fiends. Only issue I had was one of the lifts dropped me on my butt for the first time in a while (I’m probably getting too chill for the hardcore lifts anyways).

High-class & well-groomed runs. Nearby & relatively low crowds. Friendly staff. They WORK for your business. Always happy when I go to Sierra at Tahoe!
