Excellent Resort

Not as well known as other Tahoe ski areas such as Squaw and Heavenly and not quite as big, but big enough and the riding here is excellent. It is also very laid back and friendly. It is known as a locals mountain and seeing what other good mountains there are around Tahoe that can't be a bad recommendation.
