    Ski Lake Tahoe
    With 17,000 acres of skiable terrain at Lake Tahoe there is a massive choice of skiing and riding and no reason to stay at the same resort. All ski areas surround the 30 mile long turquoise lake and are within an hour's drive from South Lake Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe Pass is fantastic value for money as an area pass covering Heavenly, Sierra, Kirkwood, Alpine Meadows, Mt Rose, Squaw Valley and Northstar. Bus shuttle transfers are available as is a lake steamer, which is a great way to take in the amazing panoramic views.

    Lift pass, rentals and ski school prices are subject to change and alteration, please see the most up to date prices upon booking your Crystal ski holiday
