Tahoe Snowboarding Question
Squaw has to be considered an advanced skier/boarder's paradise. I'd
probably avoid it if I were looking for blue runs. I think the Heavenly suggestion is good, but again, avoid it like the plague on a weekend. Not sure if it has been mentioned, but for blue runs and proximity to South Shore consider Sierra At Tahoe. Smaller than the others, but plenty to keep an intermediate happy all day long. Check it out http://www.sierratahoe.com/ Brian. "Kevin Harper" wrote in message om... Hi, we are heading to Lake Tahoe in January. I am from the East Coast and this will be my first trip to western ski resorts. We are intermediate boarders and would like the best resorts for long fairly flat runs. We are staying by Heavenly and were also thinking of Kirkwood and Squaw. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin |

Tahoe Snowboarding Question
Can anyone recommend which of the "big six" Tahoe resorts to visit in
order to avoid the worst crowds over a weekend ? We're a group of lads coming over from the UK for 9 days of boarding at the end of January and don't wanna spend the weekend days stuck in traffic on the road or on the snow... Kirkwood has a reputation for being more remote and quieter but is this still the case? We're staying in SLT so would it be easier just to go to the Nevada side of Heavenly and board there over the weekend to save getting stuck in traffic? Mid-week I guess would be the best time to hit Squaw etc on the North Shore... Cheers for any advice |

Heavenly has got to be the worst for weekend crowds. Or maybe Northstar up
in North Shore. Aside from those, I'd say pick any of them. Squaw included. Squaw is so large that even when it is "crowded" the lift lines are minimal. You might get some conjestion at certain parts of the mountain, but they'd be easy to avoid. Not so at the two aforementioned resorts, though. I believe Squaw and Alpine Meadows are now open!! Have fun! "slider" wrote in message m... Can anyone recommend which of the "big six" Tahoe resorts to visit in order to avoid the worst crowds over a weekend ?

End of January crowds are not a problem. True when its 50 degrees at the end of January like last year. No telling how the weather will be this winter. But good snow will draw good crowds. Brian. |
