We had the most amazing Spring skiing experience last week at Sugar Bowl. From the lesson check-in at 8 am by Alex to our wonderful patient instructors, Tom and Robbie-we felt cared for and safe. We had a great day skiing the slopes after our review lessons and it was just blissful. We had a couple of falls but the rescue team was there within seconds to check that we were ok (probably shouldn't have gone down that Blue on my third run of the icy day!) Thank you for making our ski day so great and easy to navigate for people who don't ski a ton!

Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Area is our favorite. We try to go every winter. It has good rental equipment and a large variety of trails, from beginner to expert level. They also offer ski lessons.

Diamond Peak is a community-owned resort with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe; miles of welcoming, uncrowded runs; easy access from the parking lot to the slopes; a dedicated Child Ski Center for the littlest skiers and snowboarders; and a great Ski & Ride Center for older skiers/riders. All of this and affordable lift ticket and season pass prices makes Diamond Peak Tahoe’s best value, year after year.

We had a great experience with two children ages 6 and 9 and one adult. All had never skied downhill before. Took lessons in the morning and skied the rest of the day for 3 days. Nice choice of slopes. Very well organized parking, check in, and equipment rental.

Beautiful ski area. Designed for the more advanced skier - lots of blues and black runs. Only 2-3 green runs. This is not a large resort - much smaller than neighboring Squaw Valley but really nice. We enjoyed our day here a lot. Great views of Lake Tahoe from the top of the Lakeview lift.

The area's oldest ski resort is a perfect choice for families with children and beginners looking to learn to ski or snowboard, in a low-pressure, intimate setting.

Sledding sessions last 90 minutes, with 30 minutes between sessions to clear the hill. The time blocks are 8:30 am to 10:00 am, 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, and 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. All sledding tickets must be purchased online. Kids under the age of 3 sled for free. Lodging guests receive 50% off of sledding and ski lift tickets. X-country and snowshoe trails lead off of the base of the ski hill to beautiful Paige Meadows.

My family and I were on vacation in Kings Beach and we went to Granlibakken for Ski lessons for the girls (5 & 8) and sledding. Granlibakken is relatively small with one ski run, 2 hills for sledding, and a snow play area. Since it was Covid times they were limiting the number of people so it was important to make reservations for any of the activities in advance. They do a great job with sending reminder e-mails in advance with everything you need to know. Also it is important to arrive at least 45 minutes to 1 hour early for lessons so that you can get fitted with all the necessary gear. The ski instructor for the girls (JB) was awesome. He was enthusiastic and kept the kids motivated to continue even when they got a little tired. By the end of the day, they were both proud of themselves for all they had accomplished. The ski lessons here were also MUCH less expensive than the surrounding ski resorts. The sledding was a blast for the family. There is a kiddie hill and a longer steeper hill. We ended up sledding for 2 days because we had so much fun. I highly recommend it as a great place for kids lessons and sledding.

9. Squaw Valley Ski Area
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 599 reviews
Voted at North America's best ski resort for three years in a row and host of the 1960 Winter Olympics, the Squaw Valley legacy has maintained a vibrant ski culture and mountain energy that spans from village to peak. Its spirit of outdoor adventure is reflected by the views of Lake Tahoe’s translucent waters, and its inspiration is carved into the slopes of the Sierra mountains. Beginners will find forgiving learning zones set among dramatic alpine scenery, while varied trails, bowls, and chutes mean that advanced skiers and snowboarders will never outgrow Squaw’s progressive terrain. With consistent snowfall that stays around well into the spring (and sometimes summer!), Squaw Valley boasts one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons in the country.
