| Comments | Mary: Alpine Meadows: Best value, nice bowls and backside, less crowded than most resorts, good BEER, and Garlic Fries! | John: Heavenly is usually crowded and more expensive, but I just love the long-ass runs from the top. Nice refreshing views of the lake. Eating there sucks because of the long lines! | ||||||||
| Mary: SugarBowl: no crowds, friendly, good runs on the outersides, no lines | John: Sierra At Tahoe, is a great beginner and intermediate less crowded resort. 3 1/2 mile green easy run "sugar and spice" saves you time on the lifts. | |||||||||
