North Lake Tahoe

36 miles from the Reno-Tahoe International airport, on the (obviously) north end of Lake Tahoe you'll find the North Lake Tahoe region.  Seven destination ski resorts are found in the area, and when coupled with South Shore's destinations (most notably Heavenly and Kirkwood) the area hosts one of the most extensive ski regions in the world.

North Tahoe Lodging

In addition to nearby Reno, three areas represent the primary ski destination lodging for the area.  At the foot of Northstar at Tahoe an extensive village exists - the originial, more moderately-priced neighborhood a brief shuttle to Northstar's slopes and a new (as of 2006) base village with ski-in access.

Guests at Squaw Valley have several lodging selections to choose from.  And finally, somewhat between these two ski resort, lies the town of Truckee with it's own atmosphere and central location.
