SIERRA TAHOE, located southwest of Lake Tahoe off Highway #50, is the locals' favorite. The area is noted for lots of snow, sunshine, fabulous grooming, and long, consistent runs. The top of Huckleberry Mountain is just under 9000' and has a spectacular view of Lake Tahoe to the northeast.
The mountain is forested from top to bottom. Beginners have an ideal area to themselves with its own lift, 'Easy Rider Express'. Intermediates enjoy cruising the wide, smooth, gladded runs in the West Bowl and on the Backside. Experts delight in the twisting narrow chutes and fabulous bump runs below the Grandview Grill. Sierra's groomers roll most of the slopes every night but they leave the serious bump runs like Castle, Dynamite, Clipper and Preacher's Passion alone. They also build an eclectic collection of jumps, chutes, pipes, and ridges for boarders.
Sierra's typical season is early November to mid May. We appreciate significantly lower lift ticket prices compared to other area ski resorts. Sierra is about 20 miles (~32 km) from our condos at Lake Village.
