Living Around Tahoe

Looking to possibly move out to the Tahoe area for next season. Looking to mostly ride Northstar/Heavenly and get out to Squaw a few times. Can anybody living there help me out? I'm looking for a cheap place to get an apartment that's under an hour away from Northstar and Heavenly. How expensive is living out there compared to other ski areas out west? Is there any night life? Any info is appreciated

Tahoe itself is expensive and housing is a nightmare, but Reno’s about 40 minutes from North Star and squaw and housing is fairly cheap for an apartment and there’s a pretty big bar scene going on

Reno is tighhhttt. Contrary to what a lot of people will say.

Like 30 minutes to flatstar and 40 to squaw. Cheaper housing and way more stuff to do than incline or tahoe city.

How populated is the area? I wouldn't mind getting a bit of a city vibe if possible, lived in a small town my whole life

South lake is like 20ish thousand....truckee is like 16 or 17 thousand I think....reno is like like 450,000.....so a much bigger city vibe. If I was to live on the lake South lake has a little more of a big city vibe.

Well the options really are SLC, Denver, and Tahoe area. To me Tahoe looks like the most scenic place, it's just beautiful. SLC has the Utah night life problem, and honestly other than the mountains looks like a barren wasteland. Denver obviously gives the best city life, but the hour+ drive to the mountains has me hesitant, especially if I can only ride weekends with the other 90% of Denver. I feel like Tahoe is a good mix of everything I want.

Main priorities are just good skiing, long seasons, stuff to do in the offseason, and decent city life. I'd probably move out there solo dolo at first and then have friends/fam move in with me once I get settled.

Yeah dude, fuck that I70 traffic from denver. Also it's just far enough that it doesn't feel close. Reno and SLC are close to good skiing. SLC a bit closer depending on where you live and want to ski.

A lot of guys I work with at Northstar commute from Reno. It's not that bad. I've thought about buying a house in the area. Def easier to find cheap housing than around the mountains.
