This spectacular Sierra ski resort has a base elevation at 7,800 feet that is open for great skiing during the winter season, and great hiking trails in the summer.

While out of the way from South Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend the trip for a full day of skiing on the weekend. Kirkwood is the most challenging out of the three on the Epic pass and is great for getting you out of your comfort zone. The terrain is definitely unique compared to Northstar and Heavenly. It is exposed, not a lot of trees or folds in the mountains, and so you can see people skiing from very far away, which makes the lifts more entertaining! Solitude lift gets crowded with intermediate skiiers as it only services blues, but the line is shorter on the Reut lift, and some of those blacks are pretty comparable to other blues on the mountain. On days when it’s not icy, my favorite run is Conestoga, off the Reut. Lower Monte Wolfe off Solitude is also not too crowded. Lifts opened with staggered times, so the back side can get crowded in the late mornings. There also are no single riders lines.

Rated as the fourth best course in California by Golf Today magazine.
Reviewed By titaniumhen3 - Woodland, United States
The beauty of the California foothills is all around here. This course has a few holes that play in a residential area, but most of the holes have very large wide open fairways. The greens were in great shape, the course was also in great shape. There are elevation changes, trees, water hazards, bunkers, etc. This course can be challenging when you first play it, after a few rounds you learn where to hit and where not to hit. On 17, can you hit it over the big oak tree or go around it? Are you brave enough to try and land on the peninsula on 18", or do you play it safe and go out to the right? Several holes allows you to see the tower of the Preston institute. When you are finished golfing you should stop and take a look at the place. There is a very small snack shack here, and th clubhouse has some nice items for sale. The course is a little costly, it averages $60.00 to play.
