But once you know what you’re doing, nothing in Tahoe comes close to Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley.

I was impressed by Squaw Valley. Had a lot of fun there.

For instance there is a line called "Broken Arrow". I have never had so little hand holding on a piste. You get dumped on the top of a peak. Good luck, only one way down.

Squallywood the one time I was there seemed to either be completely boring or completely gnarly, not much in between. Much preferred Alpine Meadows. And Homewood has some stupendous views and would be beginner friendly.

Yeah Alpine Meadows is the default spot for me when I go to Tahoe. I’ll only go to Squaw on a non-holiday weekday with new snow.

The resort and the pubs were really cosy. The whole ambience made it feel as if it was in a movie.
