Hey there!

Me and my girlfriend are lookin to do a season in the tahoe area. We're thinking about living in truckee, seems like the best choice. So I was wondering if there we're anyone in here that wanted to come join, maybe split a house? Or if theres anyone who already lives there and might be interested in renting a room or part in a house to us? Im 28, she's 24, im danish, she's english, and we're super nice people! Hit me up at carsten30@hotmail.com, or leave a comment here.

Peace!
 
I live in tahoe but do not need a roomate but, please let me impart some wisdom on you. Tahoe is sick but DO NOT spend your entire season at Northstar!!!!!!!!! Northstar is great every now and then and they have a good park but if you are really serious about moving to tahoe you need to ski at Squaw or at least at Alpine Meadows. If you like to ride park, you should ride at Boreal because they have better jumps and a better pipe than Northstar and it is a lot cheaper. Squaw is one of the sickest mountains anywhere and Alpine is pretty badass as well so please dont waste your season exclusively riding at northstar!

oh, tahoe is a really cool place and I am sure you will enjoy it.
 
+100 to that /\

northstar was nice

but for backcountry and rock features, squaw and alpine meadows slayed.

i would say boreal is good for parks and nightskiing.

but mos def hit up squaw.
 
Ok, good with some insight. So where would be a good place to live if we wanna ski a little bit of everything, like Boreal, Alpine, Squaw? I like jumps, but im really into rails, so which park has the sickest/most rails?
 
truckee would still be good. you have basically everything within 30-40 minutes. squaw and alpine for sick terrain, northstar and boreal for jumps and rails.
 
I may also move out there for the year. September to May. I'd be going with my friend and we're looking for a place to stay in south lake tahoe. If anyone knows of anything let me know.
 
stay in truckee.

Northstar and BOREAL for parks.

squaw and alpine for everything else.

oh and you should check heavenly at least once.

alot of crazy delicious tree run and the park is often lacking, but there are some fun features.

 
yeah man, truckee is the place to stay. i'd be living there myself for the season but my major doesn't allow for it unfortunately. if you want to rent a place for the season my dad has a house there that he only really stays at for christmas/new years, spring break and any time a huge dump is in the forcast and his work schedule allows for it.

and i'm surprised nobody mentioned how awesome Sugar Bowl can be on a powder day.
 
Don't go to Boreal for park. Honestly, like it's cool that that's their main focus, but Squaw had the best park BY FAR in the Tahoe area. Boreal has some fucked up stepdowns that I overshoot each time. Northstar has some sick rails, but their jumps have virtually no landings so if you overshoot you are FUCKED, which happened to two of my friends. Squaw has THE BEST flow ever in their parks. Honestly. If I were living in Tahoe, I would get the squaw season pass, even though it is the most expensive. It is wayyyyy worth it and you will get the best mountain terrain ever too.
 
I am looking to move to Tahoe in November and do my internship for my ski resort management degree in th terrain park. im not sure what resort i should look into. One of my friends is doing his internship as sugar bowl but i haven't really heard much about it.
 
tahoe is sick for sure...i'd live in truckee itf i was to spend another season there. i lived in tahoe city this past year and incline village the season before and TC sucked but incline was straight. truckee is the most central location for north lake. 30 min from reno!! 10 min from northsteeze and about the same to squaw/alpine. about 10 min to boreal too. truckee fa sho.
