Tahoe

They’ll put you in a better mood when you shred ‘em, so pull up a chair and talk about ‘em

Let's link up. Didn't realize you rode out here. Got an Ikon this year.

This'll be my 19th season mostly riding Tahoe. I didn't get a pass last season because of the birth of my daughter, but have an Ikon coming up. Last season I strung together 6 days at various spots: one day each at Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Kirkwood, Northstar, Kingvale, then a summer capper at Mammoth on July 4th.

I've been on Ikon since 2019, after mostly doing Epic the previous ~10 years. I miss Kirkwood, but I get buddy passes out there once or twice a season. Palisades and Alpine terrain blows Northstar and Heavenly out of the water. The parks historically suck, but I heard the new builder they hired last season is REALLY good, so excited to explore that this year.

Some day soon I'll probably just shift to Sugar Bowl passes. I don't travel enough to justify an Ikon, it's closer, less crowded, and that mountain rules. I love Palisades, I do not love Palisades crowds.

Also since I don't know where to put this-- I hate Heavenly with a damn passion lol. My least favorite resort in Tahoe, at least for weekend warrior-ing.

Yooo, we should definitely link up along with @kimchi and @Garmstronger if they'll pop over from Epic for a day.

There use to be a lot more EL riders from tahoe, but I don't think they're on the forums anymore =/

So down! I'm usually riding solo or with a couple old skiers, so would welcome the chance to ride with fellow loungers with open arms!

How often do you go up? I have a ski lease in Tahoe City so am there pretty regularly during the season.

Total weekend warrior these days, but try to be there every weekend for at least one day. We usually do a trip or two as family during kids school breaks too, as my wife and daughter will not do the day trips with us.
