With 300 days of sunshine and up to 500 inches of snow annually, the Lake Tahoe and Mammoth ski areas are the perfect ski resorts.

Home to all the early Warren Miller ski movies, and with Glen Plake as resort ambassador for Heavenly, California offers some of the most extreme skiing in North America - when it snows here, it only snows in feet! Like most of the other US resorts, you pick a resort base in either South or North Lake Tahoe and explore the other 7 resorts on the area pass, see the Lake Tahoe area map.
