Full review

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tahoe. With fresh powder, no resort beats it. The steep elevation leads into a wide variety of bowls with insanely fun cornices and tree areas. The village is lacking a bit, but that's not the reason I go there. From my experience, this is more of an intermediate/advanced resort, and not so much family oriented. Also, this resort is not as insanely expensive as some other Tahoe spots (Squaw, Heavenly...), but it's not cheap.
