Lake Tahoe skiing --
the ultimate alpine vacation
Lake Tahoe skiing is a really unique winter sports experience - breathtaking panoramas, great California sunshine and challenging terrains. Lake Tahoe skiing means deep white snow, perfectly groomed trails, and friendly helpful service. Lake Tahoe skiing also means no crowds and no long lines waiting for lifts. Lake Tahoe skiing is just what the alpine ski experience is supposed to be - just you, the snow and nature.
We're in the middle of the largest concentration of alpine skiing in North America. So if you're coming to ski, Lake Tahoe has everything from spectacular runs with jaw-dropping lake views to easygoing beginner hills.
With a summit elevation of 8,637 feet and a vertical drop of 1,800 feet, Alpine Meadows is winter fun at its best. Alpine Meadows has 2,000 acres of challenging terrain with over one hundred trails. In addition, Alpine Meadows provides a rental and repair shop, day lodge with large sun deck, bar, restaurant, cocktail lounge, cafeteria, and special lessons for people with mental and physical disabilities.
Northstar has 2,420 acres of terrain and is a top-rated family destination resort with activities and conveniences suitable for families of all ages.
