WE LIKE

  • The largest concentration of ski resorts in North America
  • Conditions and pistes are perfect for all levels - remember some greens are actually blue and blacks here are actually sometimes red Advanced
  • Great value for money - variety and Reno-Tahoe International airport within an hour

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Long haul flights from UK - so go for 2 weeks to negate 2 days travelling
  • The 14 resorts a little spread out - but choose one and then visit the others if you want variety
  • You have to book early for the best deals
