Epic Winter Gets Even Better

Epic Winter Adventures in Reno Tahoe

02.21.2019

1) Ski Free

From plane to powder in less than an hour? Present your same-day boarding pass and photo ID in exchange for a complimentary lift ticket to either Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows, or get other great ticket and gear deals from different resorts.

2) Stay in Reno

Get from downtown to premier ski slopes in as little as 25 minutes. When you stay in Reno Tahoe, you don’t miss out on anything: quickly get from your room to the slopes, and back to downtown for dinner and a night out. A few suggestions post-ski day: Stroll the craft brewery scene, eat at a riverfront restaurant, head to an artisan pizzeria, and check out the amazing art installations from Burning Man.

3) Après All Day (& Night)

Whether it’s a flight of wine at Reno’s Whispering Vine, or the Deathwish APA with nachos on the side at Great Basin Brewing Company, Reno Tahoe lets you decide how to après, no matter the time of day. See where the locals like to say cheers to a day well-spent.

4) Best Fire Pits in Reno Tahoe

Taking a break from the slopes? Head to Northstar Village, where you can snag a warm seat around one of the many fire pits. Or head to Grand Sierra Resort and soak your bones in the heated pool and hot tubs before lounging around their fire pits (complete with a full-service bar). Find more fire pits in Reno and Lake Tahoe.

5) BONUS FLY!

Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RTIA) is the closest major airport to Lake Tahoe skiing and has flights from both San Francisco and Los Angeles. Fly & Ski deals are prime right now, from complimentary passes at Squaw to steeply reduced tickets at Mt. Rose, among other perks.
