California
California is reputed for its sunshine and fun loving lifestyle. Nowhere is that playful spirit more evident than in the mountains, The Sierra Nevada’s. Mammoth is the biggest with the longest ski season, the best terrain parks and events. Lake Tahoe has the most ski areas within an hour’s drive around the gorgeous turquoise blue lake.
Big Tahoe ski resort names include Heavenly, Kirkwood and Northstar – all on Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass. Meanwhile, Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows are on a shared ticket (and the IKON pass), connected by new gondola. Sugarbowl, Mt Rose, Incline Village and Homewood are others worth skiing and riding. Beautiful lodging properties on mountain like Northstar’s Ritz Carlton, and Heavenly’s lakeside lodging, plus fun things to do around the lake – snowmobiling, skating, casinos – complete your Tahoe family ski trip. These big beautiful mountains surrounding the Lake attract celebrities and pro skiers and riders alike for sun, snow and a social scene not to be missed. See this Lake Tahoe ski resorts map to plan your family ski trip.
