So me and 2 buddies are thinking about moving to Tahoe for next season, anyone have any tips or suggestions, whether its where to live where to get a season pass, is there a season pass for multiple mountains? Were interested in about 70% big mountain 30% park, and maybe buying some sleds. So any tips or suggestions would be helpful.

So are there any season passes that cover multiple hills? Or is it pick one and ride there all the time. Also how far is it from truckee to south tahoe. Thanks for the help guys.

the only muti mountain pass is north star/ sierra. the problem with that is these to resorts are very far apart, so if you live near one, you probably wont go to the other very much. I would prefer just buying one for a really good mountain like alpine, Kirkwood or squaw if you can afford it. which ever you live closest too should play a factor. then buy a cheap Boreal pass for a great park and pipe, and night riding.

south shore's for gapers...north shore is the place to be..alpine is sick for spring, squaw is super expensive unless you work there and get that free pass...north shore all the way though.

When is the best time to visit. For snow quality and coverage? I plan on staying with a friend in Reno and heading down to tahoe to ski next winter!
