Replying to Planning a trip to Lake Tahoe in December

Hey guys- just wanted a little imput- for my 21st birthday my mother is taking me to lake tahoe (or any other spot, but i picked there to go ski!) and wanted your guys imput on where would be the best place to stay. Im talking in terms of not TOO expensive, but like not disgusting and cheap, and also, close to where SOMETHING cool might be going on at night, as i will finally be 21! And one more thing- WHERE TO SKI!! squaw one day obviously, but where else for a good pipe? Im going to be there december 26-30th, so any suggestions are cool, also if any of you locals want to ski with me (COURTNEY!).. i gotta get everything booked this weekend.. thanks!

B girl ain't lost the beat
Jumped over drama and I landed on my feet
Gotta keep goin'
No stoppin' me
And if you don't like it, then
