    Not at the top of my list

    Pros: Good for families

    Cons: Small, crowded

    As a local, I ski Diamond Peak when someone gives me free tickets. It is ok for free tickets, but not worth paying for if you are anything more than an intermediate... Full review

    Homewood is a hidden gem.

    Pros: Great snow, views of Lake Tahoe

    Cons: Slow lifts, parking can be problem

    Homewood has the best views of Lake Tahoe. Many runs seem like they will end right in the lake. Tree skiing here is great. This is where my snowboarder son learned to... Full review

    Pros: Varied terrain

    Cons: Weather can be nasty; crowded on weekends

    It is what it is

    Pros: Nightskiing

    Cons: short vertical

    Boreal is a convenient resort, right off of I-80. It appeals to pipe and park rats mostly. The draw for me is nightskiing. The runs are short, the rides up seem long... Full review

    Something for every skier

    Pros: Variety of terrain, mountain layout, convenience

    Cons: Can get windy

    I've had a season pass here for 8-10 years. I also ski elsewhere in Tahoe, but you can't beat the convenience of Mt. Rose and the compact variety that it offers. The... Full review
