I decided to make this because there seems to be a lack of Tahoe information in this forum. so here it is,
the Official Tahoe Thread

anything that has to do with Tahoe goes here; winter OR summer. Discuss weather, mountain conditions, meet ups and hook ups, epic stories, sick ass places, things to do, pretty much ANYTHING!

first off, here are some sites for general information on Tahoe, whether your a local or planning a trip:

North Shore Information http://www.gotahoenorth.com/
South Shore Information http://tahoesouth.com/
Vacation Information http://www.laketahoe.com/home

secondly, here are some links to some of the mountains around the area;

Squaw: http://www.squaw.com/
Alpine Meadows: http://www.skialpine.com/
Northstar: http://www.northstarattahoe.com/
Heavenly: http://www.skiheavenly.com/
Diamond Peak http://www.diamondpeak.com/
Sierra-at-Tahoe: http://www.sierraattahoe.com/
Kirkwood http://www.kirkwood.com/site/
Sugar Bowl http://www.sugarbowl.com/home
Boreal http://www.rideboreal.com/winter/
Mt. Rose http://www.mtrose.com/

Tahoe and the surrounding area is a dope place with some even doper people, with a shit ton of stuff to offer. Whether you're a weekend warrior on the mountain, or a bar hopper down in the basin, this thread is for you.

that is all, shred on fellow shredders.

Keep Tahoe Wu

I'm still in the very early development. But It will have a video section, A park section that shows in 3d (hopefully) the current status of the parks at northstar, heavenly, and Sqauw, What other resorts would you like to see/other features of the site?

was at squaw for 5 days, got to ski with scott gaffney for 2 and he introduced me to cody townsend, jt holmes and a bunch of other pros- the snow was great and it was sick to ski with scott- he would point out where shane and cr skied lines in the different movies they were in- also was incredible to watch him ski down the palisades and mainline- best ski trip of my life

Sick dude, glad you got to meet Scott, he's a rad ass dude.  I know Rob fairly well.  Townsend is an absolute animal.

Was this for that fundraiser they did?

groomed runs at squaw on presidents day weekend are more scare than sending the middle finger with dust on crust.

You haven't seen lines until you've been to squaw on presidents day weekend.  It's the one weekend a year I take off and I ski kirkwood........

if you want powder run and cool terrain, Diamond Peak or Mt Rose is a good bet. for park, alpine squaw or northstar, but im sure they will all be crowded

MLK weekend is not as bad, but can still get crowded, with squaw, heavenly and northstar being the busiest, naturally because they are the most developed resports . diamond peak, mt rose, homewood, and kirkwood are the most low key.

all are sick mountains, so you cant really go wrong

Cool terrain at Diamond peak if you are an intermediate skier. Beautiful views but cool terrain isnt a good way to describe it. Mt. Rose has the chutes which are pretty fun, for terrain Kirkwood, Squaw and Alpine got it.
