| Sierra at Tahoe |
Sierra at Tahoe is situated 12 miles west of South Lake Tahoe on U.S. Highway 50. Three mountainsides make up this wind-protected resort: The Base Area, The Backside and The West Bowl, including one of Tahoe's longest runs, Sugar-n-Spice, 2˝ miles long.
Howdy Snowsporters,
Recently, Snow Country Magazine readers rated Sierra-at-Tahoe the top resort in the far west for on-mountain food, all-around value and employee service. (Okay, so I'm bragging a bit. But, hey, I'm really proud of this place.) You see, up here at Sierra-at-Tahoe, we take tremendous pride in our service. From the second you strap on your stick(s) to the moment you're driving home, we want to make sure your entire family is having a great time. So, if something's not going quite right, come and talk to us. We'll do our best to make it right. Thanks again for choosing Sierra-at-Tahoe.
--John Rice G.M., Sierra-at-Tahoe
What's New This season, Sierra-at-Tahoe is putting more energy into its freestyle terrain features than ever before. With the addition of a snowskate park, a fourth terrain park, 15 new rails and increased snowmaking capabilities on its 17-foot Superpipe, Sierra's terrain park staff is committed to delivering a unique freestyle playground unlike any other in Lake Tahoe.
Ranked in Transworld Snowboarding's 2002 Park and Pipe Survey as one of the Top-Ten Halfpipes in North America, Sierra-at-Tahoe has proven it is worthy of national prominence in the freestyle arena- a position the resort values and will continue to reinforce throughout the upcoming season.
Booth Creek Resorts brought well-known terrain park designer Chris "Gunny" Gunnarson on board this season, to have a hand in designing all of Sierra's parks, pipes and snowskate parks. His expertise and guidance have been used to lead high profile, professional snowboard events worldwide including the ESPN Winter X Games, World Championships of Snowboarding, and the Burton European Open. President and founder of Snow Park Technologies, his knowledge of cutting-edge terrain park technology will be an asset to a resort that has long been Tahoe's best kept secret for freeride skiers and riders.
Listed in Snow Country Magazine as the best resort in the far west for on-mountain food. So, when you're not on the hill, refuel your body (and mind) at our base area or mountain top lodge. Your body will thank you. Especially the mouth part of your body.
