Best Tahoe Skiing
Growing up in the area, we have skied every resort within 100 miles. Here are my picks.
For both beginner and advanced skiers, take the Funitel to mid-mountain and all ski levels can meet for lunch. Incredible terrain for advanced skiers and snowboarders. Try Granite Chief, Headwall and KT-22. For beginners, you can’t beat the Gold Coast chair.
