    Not everything the name says it is

    Pros: Fast lifts

    Cons: the trails

    The resort is definitely not a place you want to go with kids or people who are fairly new to snowboarding or skiing. You can shoot up gunbarrel (one of the few... Full review

    Not all that it's cracked up to me

    Pros: Big resort, plenty of open lifts, long trails

    Cons: skiers paradise, not good for boarders

    I've been to this resort several times, and each time I've asked myself why I bothered to come back. The night boarding/skiing is great IF you don't mind waiting 10-30 minutes in... Full review

    Possibly the best terrain you'll ski/board in Tahoe

    Pros: Plenty of groomed areas

    Cons: Easy to get caught up on one side of the mountain

    I am an avid snowboarder - have been for over 15 years! I've been to places like Heavenly, Squaw, Boreal, Arapahoe, Breckenridge, etc. and this place has a little something for everyone... Full review
