Sierra-at-Tahoe

Area Profile

Since its inception in 1946, Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort has grown into its role as one of Lake Tahoe's largest resort areas. Ten chairlifts, including three express quads, serve its 2,000 skiable acres. The area was acquired by Booth Creek Ski Holdings in 1996.

A partnership with Burton Snowboards led to introduction of the Progression Park, an easygoing park experience for beginners. Chairlift rides available for non-skiers.
