There is a lot more to skiing Lake Tahoe than just the resorts on the south side of the lake.  The north side offers fabulous resorts such as Squaw Valley, Northstar, Alpine Meadows and Mt. Rose.  Squaw Valley offers 4,000 acres of lift-served terrain, an annual snow pack of more than 450 inches and an abundance of warm California sunshine almost 300 days of the year.  To ensure time is spent skiing, not waiting in lift lines, Squaw is serviced by one of the most extensive lift networks in the world.  Northstar's Mount Pluto and Lookout Mountain offer 70 trails covering 2,420 acres of downhill. Terrain ranges from gentle bowls to long, steep runs and is serviced by a modern network of lifts to get you up the mountain fast. Perched high on the Nevada side of the Sierras, Mt. Rose has the highest base elevation of any ski area at Lake Tahoe -- 8,260 feet.  The lifts take you up to 9,700 feet, offering fantastic views of Lake Tahoe and Reno.  Mt. Rose has more than 900 acres of skiable and rideable terrain.  We will be staying at the Golden Phoenix Casino, right in the heart of Reno.  Lots of restaurants and nightlife are within walking distance; our first stay in this fabulous town should be incredible.  And speaking of incredible, wait till you see the price - you cannot afford to stay home!
