Truckee/Tahoe Ski Areas And My Rating

Boreal 

Boreal is a very small mountain and is known for their parks. They have multiple parks and usually have a half pipe. They also do a program called Woodward. Woodward is an indoor training facility for people who do park competitions.

Homewood Mountain Resort


Homewood is a smaller ski resort with a killer view! The ski resort is right on Lake Tahoe so when you go up to the top you get an amazing view! They have parks and runs for all ages. I know that this is one of my dad's favorite ski resorts in our area.

Ski Area Map

   Kirkwood is one of the biggest ski resorts that we have in this area. I haven't skied this one, but I have been told it also has an amazing view of Lake Tahoe and a variety of runs. 

Sugar Bowl

The first time I ever skied it was a Sugar Bowl. I was 7 and don't really remember very much of it at all but, I really liked the staff and the teachers that taught me how to ski! But after that first time, I still haven't skied there again.

Alpine Meadows





Alpine Meadows is the place where I learned to ski. It was every Sunday and I had a class. They have an awesome learning school for kids and adults who want to learn how to ski. The mountain is not very big and has a few main runs. But there are many gullies and places in between the trees. Alpine Meadows was bought last year by Squaw Valley Ski Resort and now you get amazing deals on either one. If you buy a pass there you can ski both mountains with one pass! The lodge is very comfy and has yummy food. They have two parks, one has much smaller jumps and is just in general quite small. The other one has very large jumps and is a great park in my opinion.

Squaw Valley USA

This is my favorite ski resort in the area. IT IS HUGE AND VERY POPULAR! There are almost always a lot of people there. The runs are super fun and there is everything from black diamonds to green circles. The village is amazing. It has a variety of shops and restaurants. And you can stay right in the village rather then finding a hotel. High camp has some amazing restaurants. They also have a pool and hot tub and an ice skating rink in the winter(it's a roller skating rink during the summer).
