    Alpine Meadows Review

    Pros: Excellent terrain - varied and challenging, Hikable bowls, Not a 'Scene'

    Cons: Not very big

    Fantastic tahoe ski area. While it is not as expansive or hyped up as Squaw or Heavenly, it does the important things correctly. Diverse and challenging terrain, hikable 'in-bounds off-piste' bowls, and... Full review

    Cons: There's nothing great about the resort...

    The lifts were fast and there was a good diversity in difficulty of runs. Nothing about the resort really grabbed my interest; everything was really average. The back country/tree runs flattened out... Full review

    Kirkwood's Cousin to the North

    Pros: vast terrain, relatively empty

    Cons: not as glitzy

    Although not as off-the-beaten-path as Kirkwood is on the South side, Alpine Meadows nonetheless provides the same "filtered" mountain experience. Wide-open bowls, technical terrain via traverse, chutes, and couloirs are what you'll... Full review
