North Lake Tahoe offers some of the best skiing in the world. However, the task of choosing a ski resort can be kind of daunting when there are so many good ones. Here’s some recommendations:

1. Squaw Valley: Probably has the best terrain in the Tahoe Basin. Amazing facilities (being that it hosted the olympics in 1960). If you like steep terrain, this resort is for you. As for cons, it can be a bit pricey if you don’t have a season pass. Typical day rates are in the upper $80s.

2. Alpine Meadows: The terrain is similar to Squaw Valley. Amazing views of the surrounding mountains. And the best part of Alpine is it has more of a local vibe and it is cheaper than many of the other resorts around Lake Tahoe. Often, you can find good deals for Alpine. Keep your eyes open in the supermarkets and ski shops.

3. Northstar at Tahoe: This resort is more of a family resort. If you’re into the really steep and deep skiing, Northstar probably isn’t for you. But if you want to have a great time with the family, Northstar has a quant village and lots of fun runs for any ability level.

4. Sugarbowl: This is one of the first ski resorts in the Tahoe Basin. It’s definitely a classic. Good terrain for any ability, reasonable prices, good views, its got it all.

5. Homewood: A small ski resort on the west shore. Doesn’t have much expert terrain or variety but it does blow out the other ski resorts in one category: the view. Homewood has the best views of the lake out of any Tahoe ski resort.

These are just some of my favorites. There are many more around the Tahoe area, but I would encourage you to check out one of these. Have fun out there!
