Kirkwood offers skiers and boarders a great change of pace on uncrowded slopes, sweeping vistas and sometimes terrifying (for some) terrain. Experts find nirvana on the many steeps and chutes. Intermediates revel in the wide-open groomed bowls. And, beginners appreciate the uncrowded bunny slopes. Plus, cross-country skiers can choose from a wide variety of trails and views, which include mellow touring trails, fabulous vistas and fast descents. Kirkwood has the highest base elevation in Tahoe, which means snow depths of up to 30 feet! Kirkwood has maintained the deepest snow of any resort in North America, and to our knowledge... the world! One recent season, with a total snowfall of 794 inches (an incredible 915 inches on the upper mountain), it was not unusual for the snow base to reach depths of 20 feet at the bottom of the mountain and 35 feet at the top! Alpine programs include Pro Turn Ski Clinics: 90 minutes. Your clinic takes place on the terrain of your choice, and there is no standing around. Guaranteed. Also offered are private lessons, 40 Plus Pro Turn, Women's Clinics and Camps, and a Guaranteed Learn-to-Ski Program, which uses the new Elan SCX ski and a 3-day program to get you carving right away. Also, lessons let you learn to snowboard at Kirkwood! Kirkwood cross-country features 80 kilometers of groomed track on three interconnected trail systems. All trails are double-tracked with skating lanes. Rental equipment and lessons are available for skaters and classic skiers. Plus, there are three warming huts along the trails.
