Day 1: ski conditions 10/10, overall 9/10 Day 2: 10/10 on both fronts Ties with rare super fine days in past years for the best skiing we have experienced without boarding a plane and certainly better that quite a few days in CO/UT/NV too.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Skied Heavenly in 1997. That's on NV side of Tahoe, right? Looks like I will just do 1 day at Roundtop this coming weekend. If this forecast holds it is gonna be too frigid for a 2 day Hunter trip. Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) D lift from base is a double that goes up 900' vertical and you can ski down 400' from there and get 1000' F Iift to summit. And never a crowd on North Side express lift (900') or West side lift (if open) (1300'). Worst line I have waited in following that approach is 10 min on F lift at peak times. Main 6 pack lift is the most efficient route up from ~8-9 and ~3-4. Edited January 20, 2021 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote

Can usually book it on a Sat night for ~$90. Or one exit (10 min) south there are places in Kingston for ~$70 1 Quote
