I really loved this place. We did over a week in Southern Tahoe so hit here (twice), Heavenly, Sierra & even made the run to Palisades Tahoe (the old Squaw Valley) 1 day & I think Kirkwood was my favourite. The terrain was good with lots of diversity & we had great snow which never hurts.
I highly recommend it as well as the other 3 places I mentioned above. The drive along the lake to Palisades alone makes it all worth it. The drive up to Kirkwood was pretty impressive in its own right.
