Resort Details
In Detail
The Resort
The resort features a lively, European-style pedestrian village at the base of Olympic Valley, filled with lively après-ski bars, excellent restaurants, and boutique shops. Meanwhile, the Alpine Meadows side retains a more laid-back, classic California mountain feel. Together, they create one of North America's premier ski destinations that caters to every type of winter enthusiast.
While the resort is globally renowned for its advanced and expert terrain, particularly the dramatic cliffs and chutes of KT-22, it is surprisingly accessible for all levels. Beginners and families can ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp, where they will find wide, forgiving slopes set at 2,400 meters, offering some of the most spectacular, unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe.
