WE LIKE
- Spectacular setting, with amazing views of Lake Tahoe and Nevada
- Fair-sized mountain that offers a sensation of travelling around
- Large areas of widely spaced trees, largely on intermediate slopes - fabulous in fresh powder
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- No trail back to South Lake Tahoe and there's quite a bit of 'flat' for boarders and skiers
- Gondola very vulnerable to closure by high winds
- If your tree-skiing is not good, or if you are not up to it, you are mainly confined to easy groomed blues
