Truckee Ski Resorts
and Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts
There are two Truckee Ski Resorts in the town of Truckee, California. These are:
- Northstar California Downhill & Cross Country
- Tahoe Donner Downhill - Tahoe Donner is a fantastic place to learn to ski - both of my kids learned to ski here!
Be sure to check the Snow Reports page for current conditions before you go!
Tahoe Donner Downhill
The 2011/2012 Season was an exciting one for the Truckee area with the Merger of Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, US. in Olympic Valley. This will create what is poised to become the largest Ski Resort on the West Coast. Skiers and Snowboarders can now purchase one combined Season Pass for both resorts and gain access to a combined 6,000 acres of lift served terrain!
Squaw Valley and Northstar are both in the midst of multi-million upgrade programs which will be exciting to see! The terrain parks are getting more sophisticated and challenging each year!
Read the latest Press Release for What's New in the 2015/16 Winter Season:
Northstar California is now owned by Vail Corp, who also owns Heavenly Valley, so they now offering the latest version of their social media-driven Epic Mix card, with embedded frequent-skier bonuses and tracking system.
Northstar is now the "home" mountain for Olympian Shaun White who will
be training there. He will also be helping to design their new 22 foot
half-pipe.
