North Lake Tahoe Ski Vacation
by Jennifer Weiss
When deciding on the perfect place for a winter ski retreat, look no
further than North Lake Tahoe for its considerable concentration of ski
resorts. With nine resorts waiting to challenge and thrill skiers and
snowboarders of all skill levels, it is impossible to not have a
memorable and exciting powder-filled adventure on the slopes.
As the largest and most well-known resort in the Lake Tahoe area,
Squaw Valley is a must-see for any adventurer who feels up to the
challenge of its 177 trails spread out across more than 4,000 acres.
Rather than the typical ski trail atmosphere you find at most resorts,
Squaw Valley offers acres of open bowl skiing so you can create your
own experience in the areas that are suited to your abilities. Whether
you have been skiing for countless years or you are just getting your
footing, Squaw Valley has everything you need for an exciting day on
the mountain.
For those who want to begin their North Lake Tahoe on the other end
of the spectrum, the small and unimposing Soda Springs Winter
Resort is a good place to start. With 16 trails rated 30 percent
Beginner, 50 percent Intermediate, and 20 percent Advanced,
everyone in your family can get into the skiing spirit before tackling the
extensive, more demanding resorts.
Two of the larger, more impressive resorts in the North Lake Tahoe
area include Sugar Bowl Ski Resort and Alpine Meadows Ski Resort.
Alpine Meadows boasts more than 100 trails of pure exhilaration that
are sure to leave even the most seasoned veterans breathless. Sugar
Bowl is highly regarded for its 84 trails that mostly cater to more
experienced riders, however, beginners have plenty of space devoted
to their abilities so they can work their way up to the more challenging
drops and bowls.
In addition to these resorts, visitors to the North Lake Tahoe area will
find numerous other options, including Donner Ski Ranch (50 runs),
Homewood Mountain Resort (56 runs), Tahoe Donner (14 runs),
Northstar at Tahoe (70 runs), and Boreal Mountain Resort (41 runs).
With all of these spectacular mountain peaks just a short drive away
from any North Lake Tahoe accommodations, it is easy to experience
the snow-filled ski retreat you have always imagined.
While the downhill skiing trails are always the most popular attraction,
visitors will also find terrain parks and pipes at many of the resorts
along with snow tubing, ice skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country
skiing. However, serious cross-country skiing enthusiasts who want to
view Lake Tahoe's stunning terrain during a challenging excursion
should consider the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area for 65km of sheer
beauty or the Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Resort for a journey in
the Sierra Nevada mountains snow-clad wilderness.

resorts or prefer a Squaw Valley condo rental to be near this massive
and always entertaining resort, there is a vacation rental that can meet
all your needs for a relaxing and exciting ski getaway. North Lake
Tahoe vacation rentals are located throughout this stunning and
picturesque region so you can be close to all of your favorite resorts
