Including East Shore Ski Resorts
What do we mean by resort? We've narrowed it down to ski places, whether they have lots of amenities or just a hill that's great for beginners and a snack shack. There are three South Lake Tahoe ski resorts, and that includes one that's a bit off the main drag, Kirkwood, as well as one of the Mothers of all Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts, Heavenly Mountain Resort. The other is the well-liked Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort that is perfect for families or big groups with varying skiing abilities as it has terrain that works for all levels.
One of the South Lake Tahoe ski resorts that should be noted, Heavenly, spreads out like a firmament above the town and influences most things here. Its presence is huge in both winter and summer. Like many Lake Tahoe ski resorts, Heavenly caters to skiers of all abilities, and it also features other winter sports such tubing and terrain parks. An amenity at Heavenly that you won’t find at other South Lake Tahoe ski resorts is the Gondola that ferries people up the mountain under snow or sun. In the summer, the resort provides tons of fun in the form of ropes courses, climbing walls, zip lines and biking and hiking along the now-not-snow-covered ski trails. This South Lake Tahoe ski resort also provides one of the most known and revered views of the shimmering Lake Tahoe from a majority of its mountainside, worthy of a trip up whether you see it through snow goggles or sunglasses.
Close to South Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts
Kirkwood is considered a South Lake Tahoe ski resort despite the fact that it's not located in town. It might take more effort to get to it, but locals say that this is a good ski area for athletes who want to push their limits some. If you're not a ninja skier, though, you have the option of snowshoeing or cross-country excursions and easier inclines.

Stateline, NV Resort
100 Lake Parkway, Stateline, NV
Founded on an ethos of sustainability, environmental stewardship and a legacy of luxury, Edgewood Tahoe Resort has risen from a world-class golf course to a world-class travel and business destination, offering guests access to unforgettable alpine experiences. Homesteaded more than 150 years ago by the rugged ranchers of the Park family, the lakefront property later became an original stop on the Pony Express. Set on 235 acres, Edgewood Tahoe earned a reputation as a vacation destination during the 1880s. In 1968 the resort rose to international fame when its soon-to-be-iconic golf course was unveiled. Featuring a restaurant, golf shop and lakefront event space, the adjacent Clubhouse was built in 1973 and subsequently remodeled in 1993. Within the Clubhouse, Brooks’ Bar and Deck was added in 2003, expanding guest dining options with golf course and lake views.
Inaugurated in 2017 and recently awarded four stars in 2020 by Forbes Travel Guide, the LEED-certified Lodge increased the resort’s commitment to luxury, with 154 mountain-modern guest rooms, The Bistro restaurant and bar, a spa, a swimming pool, a hot tub, event spaces and the gorgeous Great Room. A stone’s throw from the Nevada/California state line, Edgewood Tahoe is ideal for a secluded getaway or as a launching point for discovering everything South Lake Tahoe has to offer. Located one hour from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and two hours from Sacramento, Edgewood Tahoe is easily accessible by land or air.
