Tahoe Skiing Just what are you in for when you go Tahoe skiing? Nothing much really. Just seven spectacular resorts. That’s hardly unusual. Oh, and record-breaking snowfall. And more ski terrain than any other North American destination. And the tranquil yet majestic wonder that is Lake Tahoe. Given those, they’re the only reasons why you should consider Tahoe skiing. Below are our top picks of Tahoe skiing resorts you might want to consider in your next ski trip: Heavenly Mountain Resort As one of the Lake Tahoe region’s all-star resort, Heavenly Mountain provides you with awesome Tahoe skiing that you will not likely forget anytime soon. It features huge vertical, staggering views – about 10,000 feet above sea level. This actually makes Heavenly Mountain the highest peak in the Tahoe region. And you know what that means: more downhill thrills and exhilarating rides! At Heavenly Mountain Resort, there is something for everyone. With 4,800 acres of Tahoe skiing, 29 lifts, and 84 runs, each offering breathtaking views of the majestic Lake, surely it can’t get any better than this. And yet it does. More so. Heavenly Mountain straddles the border between California and Nevada. This makes for a terrain that is conveniently partitioned, thus giving way for a wide-open area, highlighted with groomed boulevards, steeps and bowls. Beginners and intermediate skiers will love the groomed boulevards, perfect for just their level of Tahoe skiing. While the steeps and bowls and trees around them create just the perfect obstacles to overcome by advanced and expert skiers who need something more than open spaces to spice up their Tahoe skiing. Mt. Rose What separates Mt. Rose from all other Tahoe skiing resorts? You mean, besides the nearly 1,000 acres of pure, unadulterated skiing space and 1,500 vertical feet of trees, glades, and bowls? How about altitude? Because at Mt. Rose, that’s what it’s all about. Mt. Rose Resort has the distinction of having the highest base elevations in the Lake Tahoe region. It rises up at 8,260 feet above sea level, making their parking lots higher than even the summits of other ski areas. This, of course, ensures the best conditions for skiing. Because at the basin, you enjoy the best of cool weather while avoiding the worst. What’s more, you also savor the warmest of spring weather. And in addition to all that, Mt. Rose also provides the most expansive views. To the west is the tranquil beauty of Lake Tahoe. To the east are the high desert mountains of Nevada. Two extremes from one angle, plus Tahoe skiing like no other. Do you really need other reasons why you should spend your next skiing trip right here at Mt. Rose? As mentioned, Tahoe skiing offers seven different resorts for your enjoyment and leisure. Heavenly and Mt. Rose are only two of the best available.
