Top 10 Intermediate Ski Trails at Lake Tahoe

Are you tired of waiting in lift lines that seem longer than the Great Wall of China at Lake Tahoe ski resorts? Fear not, my fellow snow bunnies, for I have found the perfect solution: a snowshoe tour. But first, let’s talk about some of the best intermediate ski trails that Tahoe has to offer. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or a newbie looking to take your skills to the next level, these trails are sure to please.

• First up is the Big Dipper at Northstar. This trail is a crowd favorite for a reason. With a steady incline and wide turns, you can really let loose and enjoy the ride. Plus, the views of the surrounding mountains are simply breathtaking. Just be sure to watch out for any pesky snowboarders who might be trying to cut you off!
• Next on our list is the Ridge Run at Heavenly. This trail is perfect for those who love a challenge but aren’t quite ready for the black diamond slopes. With plenty of twists and turns, you’ll need to be on your toes (or should I say, skis?) at all times. But don’t worry, the stunning views of Lake Tahoe will be sure to distract you from any nerves.
• If you’re looking for a trail that will really get your heart racing, look no further than Squaw Valley’s Red Dog. With steep drops and tight turns, this trail is not for the faint of heart. But for those who dare to conquer it, the feeling of accomplishment is worth it. Plus, the après ski options at Squaw Valley are some of the best around.
• Last but not least, we have Kirkwood’s Olympic. This trail is perfect for those who love a good challenge but want to take it slow and steady. The wide open spaces and gradual inclines make it easy to take your time and really savor the moment.
