World-Class Ski Resorts

In Game of Thrones, the refrain “Winter is Coming” had some ominous overtones. When the first snowflake of winter comes to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, skiers everywhere cheer, and a wave of excitement flows across the nation. Whether you ski, snowboard, or cross-country, world-class snow awaits at nearby Lake Tahoe, and on top of our mountains, stress fades and life begins to make sense again.

“Skiing is the next best thing to having wings.” Oprah Winfrey

There’s a saying among skiers, you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a lift pass. It’s an escape, a thrill, and a way to immerse into the pure beauty of a snow-covered mountain. Feel the sharp kiss of crisp mountain air as you test your limits. No one is keeping score. It’s a simple, wondrous journey down the mountain. Check-in with our concierge for passes.
