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
