Just WOW!!
If you like quiet, well groomed trails Tahoe is for you!
The Japanese Royal family were skiing there when I last visited, so it MUST be good!
Lift systems are outstandingly efficient!
Food and drinks are on the pricey side, but look where you are!! We hired a car and drove from SF without any problems, or the need for snow chains, but it was March!
Highly recommended.. and not far from Reno for a bit of Black jack, if youre into that!! ️
