Featuring a laid back vibe and a no-nonsense mountain experience, Sierra-at-Tahoe is the perfect ski area for those looking to avoid the big resorts around Lake Tahoe. Featuring 2,000 acres and over 2,200 feet of vertical, it’s guaranteed Sierra has enough of the goods to keep anyone sated. Park and pipe more your thing? Take a gander at Sierra’s five terrain parks that vary in skill level to keep any park-goer happy.

If inbounds runs aren’t enough for you, five gates access over 320 acres of pristine backcountry in Huckleberry Canyon. And new this season, Sierra is offering cat tours to Huckleberry’s chutes, glades and pillows for those seeking a unique backcountry experience. While Sierra-at-Tahoe enjoys its low key atmosphere, the debauchery of South Lake Tahoe isn’t far, if you’re looking to get into some trouble.
