Lake Tahoe ski area’s dynamite terrain and distinctive flavor
Kirkwood, the southernmost ski area in the Lake Tahoe orbit, is neither the largest nor the most famous resort in the region. Then again, it is not the smallest or most obscure either. Like Baby Bear’s Porridge, it is just right. While it participates in the Ski Lake Tahoe interchangeable lift pass that includes free daily bus from South Lake Tahoe, it feels like a separate world apart. With the lakeshore more than 30 miles away,it feels Sierra Nevada summits and valleys. It is also a self-contained ski resort with lodging stretching between to base areas and a small mall that is designated as Kirkwood’s village. Every ski resort now has to have a village, doesn’t it?
