Sierra-At-Tahoe is the closest ski resort off Highway 50 from Sacramento and the Bay Area and boasts 2,000 acres and 46 trails, and 9 chair lifts as well as a handful of surface lifts. Whether that means sending big mountain terrain via the Huckleberry Canyon Gates, carving down sunbathed groomers in West Bowl, learning a new trick in the Sierra Playgrounds, or the exhilaration of making your first turns on Sierra’s Sculpted Learning Terrain, there is a place for you at Sierra that’s just waiting to be found. For advanced riders, Sierra at Tahoe has great tree skiing thanks to nicely spaced old-growth forests of red fir trees that weren’t attractive to the early settler loggers.
