Expert Opinion

Lake Tahoe & Mammoth skiing - awesome weather, awesome snow, awesome terrain – and all at awesome prices! This area just has everything and is one of the best options for Easter in North America”

Our expert James Rivers

With 300 days of sunshine and up to 500 inches of snow annually, the Lake Tahoe and Mammoth ski areas are the perfect ski resorts. Home to all the early Warren Miller ski movies and with Glen Plake the resort ambassador at Heavenly, the region offers some of the most extreme skiing in North America – when it snows here it only snows in feet!

Like most of the other US resorts, you pick a resort base in either South or North Lake Tahoe and explore the other 7 resorts on the area pass, see the Lake Tahoe Area Map.


Heavenly skiing holidays

South Lake Tahoe, at the base of Heavenly Ski Resort, offers some of the best value accommodation in North America, and with the resort's huge area of intermediate terrain, it's a great favourite with groups and families

 Squaw Valley skiing holidays 
Squaw Valley
offers a higher standard of accommodation in a ski in/out position, and is therefore a more expensive option than Heavenly. Although renowned as being the home of extreme skiing, it is also a superb option for families with a great beginner area and varied intermediate groomers.
