Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone been?
We're going for a week at the end of March, staying in a friend's cabin about 3 miles from there. (I think this is a "genuine" cabin from the old days, not a purpose-built ski lodge).
Anyway, I'd like opinions on whether it will keep me interested for a week, in which case I'd buy a cheap week pass online. Otherwise, I'll get day passes at two or more Tahoe resorts. (I have skied at a couple of them before - mainly Squaw Valley - and I will have a car).
We get down most "groomers" pretty quickly, but might concentrate on improving ungroomed technique, which will slow us up a bit (well me, anyway).
Any thoughts welcome.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The locals at Alpine always seem to rate Sugarbowl as Tahoe's secret gnarly terrain (maybe because in buying an AM season pass they have to pledge never to say anything good about Squaw ). Personally I'd think it would be nice to get a day in at Squaw & Alpine for a change - they aren't far from Donner Summit.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

fatbob, thanks - feeling good about SB now - plus, I'll probably do 1 day at SV for old times' sake and 1 day at AM for something new. I don't think the snow is great by historical standards around Tahoe at the moment, but of course there's plenty of time for that to change.

Bones, Hurtle, thanks. Left to me, I'd explore a fair bit, but our host isn't as practised as us, so may be content on his "home" slope - I wouldn't want to drag him around or be unsociable. I'll just have to play it by ear, I think.
