It’s all about options and opportunity in the snow. Boreal boasts early season openings and an array of terrain parks for beginners to extreme skiers and riders. Small mountains, such as Soda Springs, Tahoe Donner and Donner Ski Ranch are oftentimes the perfect place for families, beginners and those looking to escape crowds. They also offer lift-accessible tubing and snow-play. Cross-country skiers and snowshoers can explore the backcountry (maps recommended and available at area ski shops and rental stores) or take to more than 180 kilometers of trails at Tahoe Donner Cross Country.
