I have seen instructors at the kids ski school yelling at the kids. I seriously couldnt believe it! A lot of the staff is on drugs

We spent a week in South Tahoe & hit Kirkwood twice. Personally I loved it there, but admittedly some of my group didn't like it as much. If I remember correctly some of them thought there wasn't enough extreme terrain or more specifically they sleeps as they really like their steeds. IMO it had plenty of diversity.
