Sierra-at-Tahoe, USA
Introduction
Sierra-at-Tahoe is located south-west of Lake Tahoe and is one of the lesser known or visited resorts in the Lake Tahoe Region. This means that the 2,000 acres of freeriding and freestyle terrain is left relatively crowd-free. 46 trails cut through thick trees that spread out over three areas, offering excellent snowboarding for all abilities, but mainly favouring intermediates. Advanced riders are provided with some very challenging riding on a number of good black trails, especially those found under the Grand View Express.Resort Statistics
