Which resort in Tahoe has the best ski instruction for kids?

Question

My daughter's four, and I think she's ready to learn how to ski. Which is the best resort to take her to?

Answer 1

I would say Squaw or Northstar. Squaw is a bit of a factory (tons of kids!), but very efficent and well-run, and the kids have lots of variety in the instruction, and it's a pretty big area... They even take them on the lift if they're ready (I freaked out to see my 5 yr old up there, though!). They don't give snacks, which is a big bummer, considering that kids get hungry and cold, and you're paying major $$$.



Northstar is smaller and more homey, but has less availability (book early). Last I went, the hill for instruction was sort of basic (magic carpet), but sufficient. They give snacks too!!



Good luck!
