Deepest Powder - Smallest Lines
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

12/07/2004 Posted by mlapadula

"Hard to get to"? Kirkwood is the only destination off of Highway 88. Unlike the gridlocked Highway 50 to Tahoe, Kirkwood NEVER has traffic. There are only a couple of days per year where there is a risk that Highway 88 will close due to avalanche controls. Only 35 minutes (without snow) to South Lake Tahoe. No crowds. No cheesy scene. Hands-down best powder. Go to Kirkwood to ski. Go to Lake Tahoe resorts to bar hop with the tourists and ski the ice and slush.

Editor's Review

Beginners are welcome, but this mountain is packed with thrills for the hard-core skier.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

This is an out-of-the-way resort, which means activities other than skiing are not extensive. If you're looking for nightlife, stay closer to Tahoe.
