You will love it the wife and I have been skiing in Tahoe for the last 3 seasons.

Any Qs pm me I have quite extensive knowledge of North/South Shore resorts and SF.

The drive can be quite nerve racking going over the D Pass in snow conditions.

My top advice to you would be hire a 4x4. When you book your hire car ask for 4x4 SUV . Be very specific saying you want a 4wd. and get this in writing/email that this is what you have asked for and paid for. Then rental car company's will try to fob you off with a 2wd then say you have to pay extra upgrade etc

I was there in Jan and March this year and the roads were fine they tend to clear the 1-80 very quickly busy trucking route.

Any Qs don't hesitate to contact me
Forgot to mention a company called Sports Basement for hire of Skis etc, from what I gather they have a good rep also v cheap 7 days ski hire $50 example

I am due out there in about 10 days time.

For local info tickets/rides etc from the bay area there is a group called skipals -bay area- found them to be really helpfull.

Goggle skipals and away you go.
